Share your reaction to Scott Colom’s Mississippi Senate win

We would like to hear your reaction to Colom's election win and your hopes for his leadership

Democrat Scott Colom has unseated Cindy Hyde-Smith, the incumbent Republican senator, to become the first Black senator in Mississippi elected since Reconstruction.

Colom had been written off by pundits as having no chance of winning when he announced his campaign last year. But his viral campaign ads created memorable slogans, while he made efforts to engage Mississippians where they were - from driving a truck that offered free tacos, to talking to students and alums at college homecomings, to chatting with voters queued to see Donald Trump.
