All Cindy High-Prices had to do was return that little blue piece of paper and sheâd probably still have a job this evening.
Hate to see it.

Itâs official: Scott Colom won Mississippi's U.S. Senate race.
When I interviewed him for Long Play, he told us his campaign came down to âcosts, costs, costs, and corruption.â
This campaign focused on the economy and expanding voter participation in a state often overlooked.

Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of Medgar Evers, is still alive today at 93 years old. Cannot imagine what she must be thinking right now watching Scott Colom make history

Front page of The Times has Colom wearing a sweatshirt from Alcorn State. When Hiram Revels retired from the Senate in 1871, he went on to serve as Alcornâs first president.

The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott.
@scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride.
Congratulations, Scott.

I am Mississippi-raised, and tonight, I am overjoyed to congratulate Senator-elect @scott_colom! From the first time we broke bread together in August 2024, I understood his claim on history. He knows that justice and security, that affordability and prosperity are possible for Mississippi. And the people agreed.
This is what happens when the overlooked organize, the discounted turn out, and the silent refuse to be ignored. Now let's get to work.

Scott Colom will be Mississippiâs third Black senator.
The first was Hiram Revels, the first Black member of Congress in either chamber. He served from 1870 to 1871.
âI rise⊠with feelings which perhaps never before entered into the experience of any member of this body.â

Remembering when Cindy Hyde-Smith joked in 2018 about attending âa public hangingâ
At the time, she was running against Dem Mike Espy, who was Black
Today, Hyde-Smith was defeated Scott Colom, who is set to be the 1st Black senator for Mississippi since the Reconstruction era
