The 1st district takes in the northeastern area of the state, including Columbus, Oxford, Southaven, and Tupelo. The incumbent is Republican Trent Kelly, who was re-elected with 73.0% of the vote in 2022.[1]
Neither of the candidates won more than 50% of the vote, so the two top candidates, Eller and Smith, advanced to a runoff that will be held on April 2.[16] Eller won 16 counties and portions of Madison and Hinds counties, performing best in Warren County, while Smith won 12 counties, predominantly in the northern part of the district.
The 3rd district is located in eastern and southwestern Mississippi, taking in Meridian, Starkville, Pearl, and most of the wealthier portions of Jackson, including the portion of the city located in Rankin County. The incumbent is Republican Michael Guest, who was re-elected with 70.7% of the vote in 2022.[1]
