Mississippi elects all its state officers in November of the odd years just prior to presidential election years. The Secretary of State had posted a list of candidates. See it here. The filing deadline is very peculiar; it isn’t really rational to close filing on February 1 when the primary isn’t until August 8, 2023.

The Libertarian Party has seventeen legislative candidates, four for State Senate and thirteen for State House. That is the largest number of legislative candidates any party, other than the Democratic and Republican Parties, has run since 1923, when the Socialist Party was active in the state.

The Green Party has one legislative candidate this year. No other minor party has any candidates, and there are no minor party candidates for statewide office, although there is an independent running for Governor.
