Scott Colom of Columbus, a Democratic candidate running against Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, says he has raised nearly $600,000 since launching his campaign.
Colom’s campaign shared with Mississippi Today ahead of Tuesday’s campaign fundraising reporting deadline that he has over $580,000 in cash on hand, a sizable amount for a first-time Senate candidate. The campaign said this was the largest amount a Democratic candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in Mississippi has ever raised in its initial three-month period.
The campaign did not share the itemized list of contributions, making it unclear what the largest source of donations is, though it did say that Colom received donations from more than 3,400 individuals. More information on who gave to the Colom campaign should be available later Wednesday when the reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission.
If Colom, the current district attorney in the Golden Triangle area, wants to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi since the 1980s, raising the money necessary to topple an incumbent Republican will be crucial.
Hyde-Smith’s latest fundraising numbers are not yet available. From January to June, she reported to the Federal Election Commission raising around $1.2 million and having around $1.4 million in cash on hand.
Mississippi’s party primaries for 2026 federal elections are March 10.
Mississippi Today will update this story with complete campaign fundraising numbers throughout the day.
