Description |
In the general election, Democrat Lieutenant Governor Ronnie Musgrove won a plurality of the vote over Republican Congressman Mike Parker. Per the Mississippi Constitution, since no candidate had received a majority of the vote, the election was decided by the Mississippi House of Representatives in a contingent election. On January 4, 2000, the House voted 86-36 along partisan lines to elect Musgrove governor. As of 2022, this is the last time a Democrat was elected Governor of Mississippi.
