Scott Colom - Wikipedia
Wikipedia's article on Scott Colom profiles the Mississippi district attorney, first Black DA elected to a majority-white district, now the Democratic nominee for the 2026 U.S. Senate race against Cindy Hyde-Smith, who blocked his 2022 federal judgeship nomination by withholding her blue slip. In a letter to her he disputed taking Soros PAC money or a position on transgender athletes, and a November 2026 report had the Senate race too close to call, with Colom leading by 2,000 votes.
