The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the fundraising arm for U.S. Senate Democrats, left Mississippi out of a recent $40-million investment in 10 battleground states ahead of the November midterm election.
The fundraising group is sending money to Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Ohio and Texas, according to a July 28 news release.
The money is being used in part to fund state-run outreach programs for Latino, Black and Asian American voters. The DSCC did not respond to a question asking why Mississippi, the state with the highest percentage of Black residents in the nation, was left out of the investment.
In the GOP-dominated Magnolia State, Democratic District Attorney Scott Colom is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, and many Democratic politicos had hoped the national party would provide substantial support and funding to Colom.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York who leads the DSCC, said in a joint statement about the $40 million announcement that Democrats have created multiple pathways for their party to win back a Senate majority.
“Today’s announcement allows us to build on our momentum and puts Democrats in a prime position to flip the Senate in less than 100 days,” the two Democratic senators said.
Despite being left out of the funding allotment, Colom has continued to make strides in fundraising and has attracted the attention of some national Democrats. U.S. Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat from Maryland, campaigned with Colom on Aug. 1.
NBC News reported that Schumer stopped by a Colom fundraiser in Washington on July 29, and the Democratic leader told Semafor he still sees potential for Colom to defeat Republican incumbent Hyde-Smith.
Gerard Henderson, Colom’s campaign manager, told Mississippi Today in a statement that Colom is outraising Hyde-Smith with Mississippi money and not money from “Washington committee transfers.”
“Washington has overlooked this state for too long, and that’s exactly why he’s running,” Henderson said. “Anyone ready to invest in Mississippi is welcome, but Mississippians aren’t waiting on D.C. to prove this race is real.”
Colom has raised more money than Hyde-Smith in two fundraising quarters, though the Republican incumbent has more cash on hand. This last quarter, Colom raised $945,000 and has $847,000 in cash on hand. Hyde-Smith raised $781,000 last quarter and has $2.5 million in cash on hand.
