Y'all Politics: Palazzo urges support of Ezell for Congress in 4th District’s General Election

June 30, 2022

The current incumbent Congressman thanked supporters Wednesday and congratulated his opponent for winning the runoff.

South Mississippi’s 4th District Congressman Steven Palazzo sought to unite Republican voters on Wednesday, urging them to support Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell in the November General Election after Ezell won the runoff on Tuesday.


Palazzo, the 12-year incumbent, lost to Ezell in the Republican runoff by a 54% to 46% margin. The Congressman will serve until January when his replacement is sworn in.


In a Facebook post, the Congressman said his and Ezell’s goals are ultimately the same.


“I’ve talked to Mike Ezell and congratulated him and Suzette on their victory. I hope you will join me in supporting his candidacy this fall,” Palazzo stated. “Our goal is the same: win a Republican majority, fire Nancy Pelosi for good, and end the radical Left’s woke agenda.”


As the Republican nominee, Ezell now moves on to face Democrat nominee Johnny DuPree, the former Mayor of Hattiesburg, and Libertarian Alden Johnson in the General Election.


Palazzo wrote a heartfelt note to his supporters, saying that serving south Mississippi in Congress has been the highest honor of his life.


“While I am disappointed in the election results, I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve the hardworking people of Mississippi’s 4th District. I thank everyone who cast a ballot yesterday,” Palazzo said.


He went on to thank his “hardworking volunteers, donors, supporters, and everyone” who entrusted him with their vote, specifically noting his gratitude for his friends and loving family’s support.

Rep. Ezell: SAVE Act ‘very important to our elections’

February 16, 2026
Watch video here HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a new voter ID bill, called the SAVE America Act. It would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote or casting ballots in federal elections. The bill now heads to the Senate. Democrats say it will disenfranchise voters, but Republicans, like Mississippi 4th District Republican Representative Mike Ezell, say the legislation is needed. “We have to show ID to get on an airplane, there so many things, if you want to purchase a firearm, you’ve got to show your ID,” Ezell said. “What is the difference in showing your ID for a federal election, not state, a federal election and there’s just absolutely no reason for it. I don’t know, I hope we can get that moved out, it’s very important to our elections.” The vote in the House was 218-213. Ezell visited William Carey University and Southern Miss on Friday.

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

December 20, 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
