Congressman Mike Ezell Files Qualifying Papers for Re-Election

(Jackson, Miss.)—Today, Mississippi’s Fourth District Congressman Mike Ezell filed qualifying papers to run for re-election in 2024.

“I’m honored to represent the people of South Mississippi, and I’m asking for your vote so I can continue fighting for our conservative values in Congress every day,” said Congressman Ezell. “As a former Sheriff and now as your Congressman, making sure we have safe communities for our families is a top priority. I’ve seen firsthand the problems illegal immigration and drugs are causing—because the Biden administration has failed to secure our border. That’s why I’ve sponsored legislation to finish the border wall, to punish smugglers and to support our border patrol agents so we can stop this crisis now.”

Congressman Ezell recently was named as one of President Donald Trump’s Mississippi Leadership Team for the Trump Campaign in 2024. “With your support, and with President Trump back in the White House, we will put America first and get our country back on the right track with conservative policies and principles,” Congressman Ezell stated.

“The Biden administration wants policies that defund our police and open our borders—and that’s dangerous,” said Congressman Ezell. “As your Congressman, I’m fighting against the radical left’s agenda that would take our country down the wrong path.”

Congressman Mike Ezell is currently serving in his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives. He serves on the House Committee on Homeland Security where he is Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Accountability. He also serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure where he is Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.

Congressman Ezell is a Republican who previously served as Jackson County Sheriff from 2014-2022, after first being elected in a special election and re-elected to the position in 2015 and 2019. Congressman Ezell has 40 years of service in law enforcement including working in the Pascagoula Police Department, Chief of Police of Ocean Springs and Sheriff of Jackson County. Sheriff Ezell and his wife, Suzette, live in Pascagoula and are active members of First Baptist Church of Pascagoula. They have one daughter and a granddaughter.
