On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For Mississippi, that includes your governor, your state capital, one of your state's U.S. senators, and your U.S. representative.
The representative answer is the most specific one because it depends on your congressional district. Two people in Mississippi can have different House answers even though they share the same governor, capital, and senators.

FAQ
These are the follow-up questions applicants usually ask when they start reviewing state-specific answers.
Who is the governor of Mississippi now for the citizenship test?
For Mississippi applicants, the current governor answer for Mississippi is Tate Reeves. This is one of the answers applicants should re-check close to interview day because governors can change after elections, resignations, or appointments.
What is the capital of Mississippi for the civics test?

Who is one of Mississippi's U.S. senators now?
For Mississippi applicants, one correct senator answer is Cindy Hyde-Smith or Roger F. Wicker. Either name works because USCIS asks for one senator, not both, but it helps to know both names for review.

For Mississippi applicants, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. Mississippi currently has 4 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
