Congressman Mike Ezell, representing Mississippi’s 4th district since 2023, shared insights and reflections through a series of tweets recently. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, in 1959, Ezell brings his experience from local law enforcement to his current role in Congress.
On May 12, 2025, Congressman Ezell noted the participation of Team Ezell with the Biloxi Police Department to honor fallen officers. He emphasized the importance of National Police Week by stating “Last week, Team Ezell joined the Biloxi PD to honor officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. As National Police Week begins, we remember their sacrifice—and the sacrifice of their families.”
Later that day, on May 12, he reflected on his previous service as a police officer and its influence on his current role in Congress. He stated “This National Police Week, we reflect on how our time in Congress isn’t the first time we’ve raised our right hand and sworn an oath to defend this country…The time we spent serving our neighbors as police officers is the inspiration for serving our neighbors as members of Congress.”
On May 13, Congressman Ezell turned his attention to economic issues affecting Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. He highlighted concerns about foreign competition affecting local shrimpers. He tweeted “Growing up on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, I know how important the shrimp industry is—not just to our economy but to our way of life. Our local Gulf Coast shrimpers are playing by the rules while foreign producers are flooding the market with unsafe, low-quality products.”
Mike Ezell replaced former U.S. Congress member Steven Palazzo in 2023 and has been actively involved in addressing both community and economic issues pertinent to his district.
