Background
In the 2019 Mississippi Legislature elections, Republicans expanded their majorities in both chambers to 75 in the House and 36 in the Senate.[2][3] They currently have 77 members in the House, five votes short of a two-thirds supermajority, after elected Democrats Kevin Horan and Jon Ray Lancaster switched parties.[4]
The 2023 election will be the first election held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census.[5]
