Charles Delbert Hosemann Jr. (born June 30, 1947) is an American politician and attorney who has been the lieutenant governor of Mississippi since January 2020. From 2008 to 2020, he served as the secretary of state of Mississippi.

Early life and career

[edit]

Hosemann was born on June 30, 1947, in Vicksburg in western Mississippi.[1][2][3] He was the oldest of three children, having two sisters.[4] His heritage is Catholic-Austrian on his father's side and Irish on his mother's side.[4] His father, C. Delbert Hosemann, was a tax lawyer in Vicksburg and a Lions Club governor.[4][5]

He graduated from the St. Aloysius High School in Vicksburg.[4] He received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1969 from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. After college, he joined the United States Army Reserve, enlisting in August 1969 for a six-year commitment; he served eight.[6][4] He also worked briefly in Dayton, Ohio to earn money for law school.[4]

In 1972, he earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law in Oxford. In 1973, he obtained a Master of Laws in Taxation at New York University.[1] At NYU, he focused on mergers and acquisitions.[4]

In 1973, he joined the law firm Magruder, Montgomery, Brocato and Hosemann, working in the mergers and acquisitions practice.[4] After the passage of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act in 1974, he became an expert in employee retirement plans.[4] He departed in 1988.[1] Afterwards, he became a partner at Phelps Dunbar LLP,[1] specializing in business and tax law, until his election into office.[7]

Early political ambitions

[edit]

1981 Congressional special election

[edit]

Upon the resignation of U.S. Representative Jon Hinson from Mississippi's 4th congressional district in 1981, Hosemann, who was at the time a political unknown, considered running for the seat in the special election.[8] In March 1981, he announced his candidacy for the seat as a Republican, saying he would run a "positive and upbeat" campaign. In his announcement, he lamented unnecessary regulations and restrictions.[9] However, the 100-delegate district GOP convention in April elected Liles Williams over Hosemann in a 54-44 ballot.[10] Hosemann considered running in the 1982 election for the 4th district after losing in the special.[11]

1998 Congressional campaign

[edit]

Hosemann was the Republican candidate for election to Mississippi's 4th congressional district in 1998.[12] Hosemann came first in the primary and later won in the runoff election despite criticisms of being a "closet liberal" for donating to Democratic Mississippi governor Ray Mabus in 1987.[13] Governor Kirk Fordice endorsed Hosemann's runoff opponent in the primary.[14] Hosemann had support from the National Rifle Association and the National Right to Life Committee.[15]

Hosemann was considered a strong candidate: he had a financial advantage, early advertising, and running during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.[12] However, the seat was considered one of the Democrat's best opportunities, and conservative Democrat Ronnie Shows, a state transportation commissioner, won.[12]

2003 attorney general election

[edit]

Hosemann was considered a potential candidate for the attorney general in the 2003 elections.[16] He eventually ran in the Republican primary against two other candidates.[17] He dropped out of the race in March 2003 out of concerns of exhausting funds from party donors in a three-way race.[18][19]

Elections

[edit]

In the 2007 Mississippi elections, Hosemann ran for the Mississippi Secretary of State position to succeed Eric Clark.[20] Political analyst Sid Salter noted Hosemann in May as one of the early leaders in the campaign.[21] He campaigned on voter ID laws, better election administration, and fair management of public lands.[22] One of Hosemann's campaign ads took advantage of his unusual name, which was considered by several staffers at the Clarion-Ledger as one of the best of 2007.[23][24] In the primary election in August, he received 56% of the vote, besting former mayor of Columbus Jeffrey Rupp and State Representative Mike Lott of Petal.[25] In the general election in November, Hosemann defeated Robert Smith with 58% of the vote.[25] He became the first Republican Secretary of State for Mississippi since James Hill in 1878.[22] He took office on January 10, 2008.[26]

Hosemann ran for reelection in the 2011 Mississippi elections. He announced his intent in February 2011, focusing on implementing Mississippi's voter ID law.[27] He easily won the Republican primary against a Gulfport city council member,[28] who ran because of Hosemann's attempt to put harbor control under his office.[29] In the primary, he reused his campaign commercials focusing on his unusual name. No Democrat ran against Hosemann, though the Reform party attempted to put a candidate on the ballot.[28] In the end, he ran uncontested.[25]

In February 2015, on Supertalk radio, Hosemann announced he would run for reelection in the 2015 Mississippi elections.[30] He ran unopposed in the Republican primary and was set to face Democrat Charles Graham.[31] An October poll by Mason-Dixon showed Hosemann to win 63% to 27%.[32] He ended up winning against retired firefighter Graham 61% to 36%.[25][33]

Tenure

[edit]

Under Hosemann's tenure, he worked to enact voter ID laws.[6] After Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, Mississippi was allowed to change its voting laws without preclearance from the Department of Justice. Following the decision, Hosemann quickly worked to implement regulations for voter ID after a 2011 vote to amend the state constitution passed, as it no longer needed DOJ preclearance.[34][35][36] The law first took effect in the 2014 primary elections.[37] In 2014, he won a federal court case to keep state voter file information private from the federal government. He asserted that there was no voter fraud in the 2016 election.[38] In 2017, he refused the Trump administration's request to Mississippi's voting records to identify non-citizens voting.[39]

The Mississippi Legislature officially ratified the 13th Amendment in 1995, but the Secretary of State's office failed to officially notify the National Archives at that time. The oversight was identified and reported to Hosemann in 2013, who quickly submitted the appropriate documentation, making Mississippi the final state to ratify the amendment.[40]

In 2018, at the Neshoba County Fair, Hosemann announced he would not seek re-election for Secretary of State.[41] In March 2018, he was considered a potential successor to U.S. Senator Thad Cochran after his resignation.[42]

Elections

[edit]

Hosemann announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor in the 2019 Mississippi elections.[43] During the campaign, he focused on increasing teacher pay, more infrastructure funding, expanding Medicaid, and fully funding pre-K education.[44][45] He also proposed gas tax increases and increasing legislative transparency.[45] In the Republican primary, he defeated Shane Quick and won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor; he outraised Quick by several magnitude.[46][47] In the general election, Hosemann defeated Democrat Mississippi House Representative Jay Hughes 60% to 40%.[48][25] He was sworn in to the office on January 14, 2020.[49]

In the 2023 Mississippi elections, Hosemann ran for reelection.[50] In his announcement, he emphasized the improved fiscal status of Mississippi.[50] He faced a primary challenge from far-right firebrand state senator Chris McDaniel who lambasted Hosemann as being too liberal; McDaniel was considered a leader of the far-right wing of the Mississippi GOP.[51][52][53] Hosemann's campaign focused on cutting taxes, improving government efficiency, adding more prosecutors to judicial districts, funding infrastructure projects, increasing education resources, and building regionalized healthcare networks; he also touted his "conservative values."[54] Hosemann outraised McDaniel throughout the campaign despite McDaniel receiving over $1 million in dark money.[55][53] While the race was considered contentious,[56] Hosemann defeated McDaniel 52% to 43%.[25] Hosemann faced Democratic opponent and political newcomer Ryan Grover in the general election and won 61% to 39%.[25][57] He was sworn in on January 4, 2024.[58]

Tenure

[edit]

Hosemann angered conservative senators when he gave 13 committee chairmanships to Democratic state senators.[59]

Hosemann supports increased infrastructure spending and allowing local authorities to increase gas taxes.[60][61]

He has supported raising state employees' pay.[62]

Hosemann has previously killed bills to allow prayer at school sporting events.[63] Hosemann protected the rights of transgender Mississippians by killing bills that would have taken away their right to play sports with their identified gender.[63]

Personal life

[edit]

Hosemann married Lynn Hosemann (Lagen) in 1970, who he met at the University of Notre Dame; together they have three children.[4][64] He is Catholic.[65]

He is a member of the National Rifle Association and Ducks Unlimited. He has completed the New York City Marathon and Boston Marathon.[6]
