Hosemann was born in [[Vicksburg, Mississippi|Vicksburg]] in western Mississippi. He received his [[Bachelor of Business Administration]] degree in 1969 from the [[University of Notre Dame]] in [[South Bend, Indiana|South Bend]], [[Indiana]]. In 1972, he earned his [[Juris Doctor]] from the [[University of Mississippi School of Law]] in [[Oxford, Mississippi|Oxford]], [[Mississippi]]. In 1973, he obtained specialization in Taxation at [[New York University]]. Hosemann currently lives in the capital city of [[Jackson, Mississippi|Jackson]], where he is a partner with Phelps Dunbar LLP.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.phelpsdunbar.com/attorney-profile/profile/hosemannjr-96.html |title=Phelps Dunbar LLP: Attorney Profile |access-date=November 8, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516004211/http://www.phelpsdunbar.com/attorney-profile/profile/hosemannjr-96.html |archive-date=May 16, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In the Republican primary election on August 7, 2007, Hosemann received 54 percent of the vote, defeating former mayor of [[Columbus, Mississippi|Columbus]] Jeffrey Rupp and [[Mississippi House of Representatives|State Representative]] Mike Lott of [[Petal, Mississippi|Petal]]. In the general election on November 6, 2007, Hosemann defeated [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] Robert Smith in the race for Secretary of State.<ref>[http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071107/SPECIAL02/711070375/1001/news Hosemann ready to get to work | clarionledger.com | The Clarion-Ledger]</ref> He became the first Republican Secretary of State for Mississippi since James Hill in 1878.

He took office in January 2008, succeeding Democrat [[Eric Clark (politician)|Eric Clark]]. During the campaign, he took advantage of his unusual name in order to gain name recognition. A series of commercials showed an elderly woman talking about the good things he would do as Secretary of State, meanwhile forgetting his name as he tried to correct her. She typically used similar names such as Gilbert, Albert, Philbert, [[Dilbert]], and Herbert. Since then, various public service messages, such as a reminder to go vote during election season, have included this format, the woman talking about the importance of voting, then mispronouncing Hosemann's name, then Hosemann correcting her and continuing the reminder.

The Mississippi Legislature had officially ratified the [[Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|13th Amendment]] in 1995, but the Secretary of State's office had failed to officially notify the National Archives at that time. Doctors Ranjan Batra and Ken Sullivan of the University of Mississippi Medical Center noticed the oversight in 2013 and informed Hosemann, who quickly submitted the appropriate documentation. This action made Mississippi the 36th and most-recent state to ratify the 13th Amendment.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Blum |first1=Sam |title=Mississippi ratifies 13th amendment abolishing slavery ... 147 years late |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/18/mississippi-us-constitution-and-civil-liberties |website=The Guardian |access-date=November 1, 2020 |language=en |date=February 18, 2013}}</ref>

== Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi (2020–Present) ==
Hosemann ran for lieutenant governor of Mississippi in the [[2019 Mississippi elections|2019 Mississippi general election]]. In the Republican primary, he defeated Shane Quick and won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Amy |first1=Jeff |title=Hosemann faces Quick in GOP lieutenant governor primary |url=https://apnews.com/e33ae27cfd534f9f9605f90dafd97a29 |website=[[Associated Press]] |access-date=May 28, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724203623/https://apnews.com/e33ae27cfd534f9f9605f90dafd97a29 |archive-date=July 24, 2019 |date=July 24, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> In the general election, Hosemann defeated Democrat [[J. P. Hughes Jr.|Jay Hughes]], a member of Mississippi House of Representatives.

During his run for lieutenant governor, he announced his plans, which he told reporters that he wanted to increase teachers' pay, expand learning program for pre-K students, and increase funding for special needs students. He also wanted to make career and technical training more available for high school students and jobs and skills training more available for prison inmates. He supported increased infrastructure spending without new taxes, which he also supported raising the statewide gas tax. He also wanted to reduce state agencies’ spending and reinvest the cut spending into education and infrastructure, and he also wanted to raise state employees’ pay.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bologna |first1=Giacomo |title=Mississippi Legislature: Here's what Delbert Hosemann plans to do as lieutenant governor |url=https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/politics/2020/01/07/heres-what-delbert-hosemann-plans-do-lieutenant-governor/2673716001/ |website=[[The Clarion Ledger]] |access-date=May 28, 2020 |language=en |date=January 7, 2020}}</ref>

=== Mississippi state flag ===
Hosemann initially supported changing the [[Mississippi state flag|state flag]] by referendum. After the [[murder of George Floyd]], Hosemann declared his support for a new state flag and supported legislative action to retire the old state flag, which bore the [[Flags of the Confederate States of America#Battle flag|Confederate battle emblem]]. He said ″It is time for this controversy to be resolved. I believe the flag which represents me and my grandchildren should reflect all of our citizens’ collective future, as determined by those who will live under that banner.″<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ganucheau |first1=Adam |title=Hosemann assures near certain death of bill that would change state flag |url=https://mississippitoday.org/2020/06/17/lt-gov-hosemann-mum-on-state-flag-issue-assures-near-certain-death-of-bill-that-would-change-flag/ |website=Mississippi Today |access-date=November 12, 2020 |date=June 17, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Bedillion |first1=Caleb |last2=Seid |first2=Dennis |title=Lt.

== Political involvement ==
Hosemann was a candidate for election to the [[Mississippi's 4th congressional district]] in 1998.

After the resignation of Senator [[Thad Cochran]] in March 2018, it was speculated that Governor Bryant would name Hosemann as Cochran's successor,<ref name="Names">{{cite web|url=https://www.vox.com/2018/3/5/16798610/sen-thad-cochran-resigning-2018-republican|title=Sen.

In 2018, at the Neshoba County Fair, Hosemann announced he would not seek re-election for Secretary of State in 2019.

In 2019, Hosemann announced his candidacy for Lt. Governor.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Harrison |first1=Bobby |title=Hosemann announces bid for lieutenant governor - 'where I can make the most difference' |url=https://mississippitoday.org/2019/01/09/hosemann-announces-bid-for-lieutenant-governor-where-i-can-make-the-most-difference/ |website=[[Mississippi Today]] |access-date=27 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723053740/https://mississippitoday.org/2019/01/09/hosemann-announces-bid-for-lieutenant-governor-where-i-can-make-the-most-difference/ |archive-date=23 July 2019 |date=9 January 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>
