Speaker Jason White says House will consider redistricting during 2027 legislative session
Mississippi Today, republished by DeSoto County News, reports that Speaker Jason White created a House Select Committee on Redistricting to develop policy plans ahead of the 2027 legislative session. The committee is a real legislative-process signal, but it also supports the current guardrail: congressional and legislative maps remain a future/watch lane unless official calendar action, a filed map, or a replacement call changes the record.
