General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Mississippi in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 8, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

As of the candidate filing deadline, 24 candidates—an average of six for each of Mississippi's four U.S. House districts—filed to run, including 16 Republicans, seven Democrats, and one Libertarian. The six candidates per district average was more than it was in both 2020—3.5 candidates per district—and 2018 (4.75).

All four incumbents filed for re-election, leaving no districts open. Mississippi had only one open-seat U.S. House race since 2012. Former Rep. Gregg Harper (R) did not run for re-election in 2018 in the state's 3rd Congressional District and Rep. Michael Guest (R) won the Republican nomination from a six-candidate field. Guest defeated Michael Evans (D) in the general election that year, 62% to 37%.

This was the first candidate filing deadline to take place under new district lines adopted following Mississippi's decennial redistricting process. Mississippi was apportioned four seats in the House of Representatives, the same number it received after the 2010 census. Gov. Tate Reeves (R) signed the state's congressional redistricting plan on January 24, 2022. After the state Senate approved the plan, Lee Sanderlin wrote in the Mississippi Clarion-Ledger, “The bill preserves the current balance of congressional power in Mississippi, keeping three seats for Republicans and one for lone Democrat Bennie Thompson."

All four U.S. House incumbents drew primary challengers for the first time since 2012. Overall, the candidate filing deadline set seven contested primaries—four Republican and three Democratic. The only U.S. House district without a Democratic or Republican primary was Mississippi's 3rd District, where Shuwaski Young (D) was left unopposed for his party's nomination.
