Mississippi Libertarian Nominee for Legislative in 2023 Set New Post World War II Record

Mississippi elected its legislature on November 7, 2023. Libertarian nominee Brice L. Phillips, running in a two-way race in the 122nd House district, polled 21.23%. This is the highest percentage for a minor party candidate for the Mississippi legislature in the period 1946 through the present.

The previous World-War-II record had been set in 2015 by a Reform nominee, Eli Jackson, who had polled 13.18% for State Senate, 45th district.

Even though Mississippi has very lenient ballot access laws for minor parties, there have been very few minor party legislative nominees in that state for a very long time.
