Delbert Hosemann handed Chris McDaniel his third statewide election defeat, as the number of contested races continued to decrease in Mississippi.
In 2023, for the first time since Reconstruction, there were enough Republicans running without Democratic opponents to guarantee that Republicans would rule both of Mississippi’s legislative chambers.
Democrats controlled the Mississippi Legislature from 1876 until 2007. Republicans won control of both chambers in 2011. Since then, the number of uncontested races has steadily increased.
The number of seats without Republican opponents has remained fairly constant between 2011 and 2023, with a high of 55 seats in 2019 and low of 47 in 2023. The number of seats without Democratic opponents has consistently increased from 55 in 2011 to 98 in 2023.
Also in 2023, neither major party fielded a candidate in House District 96, thus guaranteeing the seat to an independent.
