On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on your state. For Mississippi, that includes the governor, the state capital, one current senator, and your U.S. representative.
Start with fixed answers
Lock in the state capital and the governor before adding names that can change.
Choose one senator
USCIS asks for one senator, so pick the name you can say most confidently out loud.
Confirm your district
Finish with your House representative because that answer depends on your current address.

Common questions
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?
For Mississippi applicants, the capital of Mississippi is Jackson. Capitals are stable facts, but they still matter because USCIS may ask the question exactly as "What is the capital of your state?"
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.
How do I find my U.S. representative in Mississippi?
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.
