Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann on Thursday announced he is forming a select committee for state senators to study redistricting over the summer and fall.
Hosemann, in a news release, said Senate Pro Tempore Dean Kirby, a Republican from Pearl, will lead the committee, and he expects it to gather information on potentially redistricting congressional, state legislative and state Supreme Court districts in light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court’s Callais decision.
“I look forward to reviewing the committee’s recommendations,” Hosemann said.

Other senators who will serve on the committee are Republicans Briggs Hopson of Vicksburg, Josh Harkins of Flowood, Brice Wiggins of Pascagoula, Jeremy England of Vancleave, Lane Taylor of Philadelphia, Mike Thompson of Gulfport, Daniel Sparks of Belmont, and Democrats Derrick Simmons of Greenville and Angela Turner Ford of West Point.
Hosemann’s decision follows House Speaker Jason White’s recent announcement that he has created a select committee to study redistricting ahead of the 2027 legislative session.
Gov. Tate Reeves had previously called for lawmakers to return to Jackson in a special session next week to redraw state Supreme Court districts, but he cancelled the session. Some Republicans are calling for lawmakers to redraw congressional districts in a way that makes it harder for longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson to win reelection.
