Earlier in the day, Ezell’s campaign released a statement following the Tuesday election results.


“Yesterday, two-thirds of Republicans in the 4th Congressional District voted for a new person to represent us in Congress. That’s why I’m excited about moving into the runoff election because we know there’s a lot of momentum with a big majority of voters who want a change,” Ezell was quoted as saying. “No matter who you voted for yesterday, I’m asking for your vote in the June 28 runoff election because we must have a change in who represents us in Congress.”


The Ezell campaign is launching its first runoff television ad tonight focusing on what they say is the clear choice between Congressman Palazzo and his ongoing ethics investigation versus Sheriff Ezell’s 40-year law enforcement record of cleaning up corruption and saving taxpayers millions.

“The issues are serious, the stakes are high and we now have a clear choice about who can best represent South Mississippi in Congress,” said Ezell. “Now more than ever, we need someone with firsthand law enforcement experience in Congress. In this runoff election, there’s a big difference between the candidates in terms of record, experience and work ethic. Over these next three weeks, I’ll be working as hard as I can to earn your vote in the June 28 runoff—because I’m the candidate who will show up, speak up and stand up for our conservative values—every day.”

RELEASE: Congressman Mike Ezell Addresses Unfair Treatment of President Trump by Colorado State Supreme Court

20 Dec, 2023
[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
