Representative Justin Crosby

Justin Crosby is a member of the Democratic Party and currently serves in the Mississippi House of Representatives, representing District 22. He assumed office on January 6, 2026, and his current term will conclude on January 4, 2028.

Born in Aberdeen, Mississippi, Crosby has deep roots in his community and has built his career around service and advocacy. He graduated from Aberdeen High School and later pursued higher education at Itawamba Community College, Delta State University, and the University of Mississippi, equipping himself with a strong academic foundation for his future in public service. Professionally, Crosby has worked in telecommunications, a field that has given him insight into the importance of infrastructure, connectivity, and access to modern resources for rural communities across Mississippi. His background in this industry has influenced his legislative priorities, particularly in areas related to economic development and technological advancement.

Crosby entered politics through a special election held on November 4, 2025, where he successfully defeated incumbent Republican Jon Lancaster. His victory was part of a broader shift in Mississippi politics during court-ordered redistricting elections, which opened opportunities for new voices in the state legislature. Crosby’s campaign emphasized community representation, equitable access to resources, and a commitment to addressing local concerns such as education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. His ability to connect with voters and present practical solutions to everyday challenges played a significant role in his electoral success.

As a legislator, Crosby has focused on issues that resonate with his district, including strengthening public education systems, expanding healthcare access, and supporting small businesses. He has also shown interest in policies that promote transparency and accountability in government, reflecting his belief in responsive and responsible leadership. His Christian faith and upbringing in Aberdeen have shaped his values, guiding his approach to governance with an emphasis on fairness, compassion, and service to others.

Crosby’s tenure in the Mississippi House of Representatives marks the beginning of his formal political career, but his dedication to his community predates his election. He has been actively involved in local initiatives and continues to maintain close ties with his constituents, ensuring their voices are heard in the state legislature. With his current term set to end in 2028, Crosby’s role in shaping policy and representing District 22 will be closely watched as he works to fulfill his promises and contribute to the progress of Mississippi.
