Mike Ezell for Congress Campaign Announces More Than $100,000 Raised in 2nd Quarter Campaign Finance Report
Jun 30, 2021
On Wednesday, June 30, Jackson County Republican Sheriff Mike Ezell announced that his campaign for U.S. Congress in Mississippi’s Fourth District has raised more than $100,000 during the 2nd quarter of this year.
Campaign finance reports reflecting fundraising activity from April through June, 2021 will be filed with the Federal Election Commission by July 10. Sheriff Ezell announced his campaign for Congress on April 7 and since then, he has been working hard to listen to voters, discuss his experience and priorities, and build support for his campaign.
“Since I announced my campaign in April, I have been humbled to receive support from so many people who agree it is time for new leadership in Congress for South Mississippi,” Sheriff Ezell said. “My vision for serving in Congress is simple: work hard, show up, do the right thing, and always listen to the people. That is why I pledged to hold a town hall meeting in every county of this district before the end of the year. What is happening in our country today is alarming, and I am running for Congress to do something about it. Open borders, rising crime rates, big spending, and left-wing indoctrination of our children in crazy ideas like critical race theory are just some of the serious issues we need to address.”
Sheriff Ezell has served as Jackson County Sheriff since 2014 when he was first elected in a special election and re-elected to the position in 2015 and 2019. Sheriff 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.
While serving, Ezell graduated from the Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Academy and obtained a degree in criminal justice from the University of Southern Mississippi. He was also selected to attend the FBI National Academy and later worked with the FBI on their Safe Streets Task Force. He is an active member of the Jackson County Republican Club and the Mississippi Sheriffs’ Association. He and his wife, Suzette, live in Pascagoula and are active members of First Baptist Church of Pascagoula. They have one daughter, son-in-law, and a granddaughter.

[Pascagoula, MS] - Congressman Mike Ezell, representing the great state of Mississippi, expresses deep concern over the recent decision by the Colorado State Supreme Court to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. This decision, in Congressman Ezell's view, raises questions about the principles of democracy and the right of citizens to choose their representatives. In a statement released today, Congressman Ezell shared his thoughts on this matter, stating, "Colorado has taken President Trump off the ballot, and this is where democracy falls. It's time that we stand up and fight back. We can show that Mississippi has his back. We stand with Donald Trump over the woke left in Colorado." The decision to exclude a former president with a significant following from the electoral process raises concerns about the fairness and integrity of our democratic system. Congressman Ezell believes that every citizen, regardless of political affiliation, should have the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice. "The cornerstone of our democracy is the ability of citizens to freely express their political will through the electoral process. The decision in Colorado challenges this fundamental principle," said Congressman Ezell. For media inquiries or further information, please contact: Info@MikeEzell.MS

He then traded in his sheriff’s badge and uniform for a suit and tie with an American flag pin. He is serving on the Homeland Security Committee and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. If re-elected, Ezell hopes to work with other congress members like Alabama Congressman Jerry Carl and Georgia Congressman Drew Ferguson, who both endorsed him. Ezell is excited for the opportunity to continue serving his constituents if he wins re-election. “It’s a wonderful thing to be a member of Congress. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to work for the people and to serve the people. And I will continue to do that as long as I’m in Congress, and I’ve always done that as a law enforcement officer and a sheriff. And I’ll continue to do that. We’re all about service. The only campaign promise I made when I was sheriff, and I hold this true, if you call, we’re coming and we’re going to help.” Congressman Jerry Carl said, “We share a lot of the same common influences, same businesses, so it’s important that I get somebody like Mike that I can work with. It’s important to the people in my district.” This election is just over a year away on November 5th, 2024. https://www.wxxv25.com/congressman-mike-ezell-announces-run-for- re-election/
