Madison County · Leake County · November 2026
When you walk into that courtroom,
you deserve to see someone
who understands your world.
A judge shapes the future of families. Which means the judge should understand what family really means — the sacrifices, the land passed down, the children you'd do anything for.
Rhonda Cooper isn't just qualified. She's connected — to these communities, these families, and the real stakes behind every case on that docket. In Madison and Leake counties, that connection is long overdue on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the campaign, Chancery Court, and how to get involved.
Chancery Court in Mississippi handles domestic relations (divorce, custody, child support), estates and wills, guardianship, property disputes, mental health commitments, and other equity matters. It is one of the most personal courts because its decisions directly shape families' futures.
Under SB2768, the 11th Chancery Court District has been divided into subdistricts. Subdistrict 11-2 covers all of Leake County and specific precincts in Madison County — including the city of Madison, much of Ridgeland, Canton, Highland Colony, Lake Caroline, Gluckstadt, and surrounding communities. This is the seat Rhonda Cooper is running for.
Election Day is November 3, 2026. Mississippi judicial elections are nonpartisan — all registered voters in Subdistrict 11-2 (Leake County and designated Madison County precincts) can vote regardless of party affiliation.
Judicial races in Mississippi are nonpartisan by law. Candidates do not run under a party label. Under Canon 5 of the Mississippi Code of Judicial Conduct, judicial candidates have specific restrictions on campaign conduct, including that they cannot personally solicit campaign contributions.
Rhonda C. Cooper, Esq. is a licensed Mississippi attorney with nearly 40 years of legal experience in the exact areas Chancery Court handles — estate planning and administration, domestic relations, real property, and contract negotiations. A Millsaps College and University of Alabama School of Law graduate, she was honored as a 2022 Leader in Law by the Mississippi Business Journal and served as Clinical Assistant Professor and Pre-Law Advisor at Jackson State University.
