The state of Mississippi has not elected a Democrat Senator since 1982. Nearly 48 hours after Tuesday’s election, that history is on the verge of changing as the Blue wave also enters the southern state.
“Hi, Madam Vice President, how are you? I really appreciate you calling, but can I hand my wife, Nadia, the phone? She’s had a rough day.
Back in September 2025, when Scott Colom announced his Senate run, he did so with a video alongside his wife, Nadia Colom, and their two daughters: Brooklyn and Luci Colom. The highest point in the campaign trail came for Scott Colom when he was joined by former Vice President Kamala Harris for a rally at the gymnasium of Columbus High School in Columbus, Mississippi on October 23. Scott and Nadia got married in 2014, according to a profile of Colom by the regional publication Progress in 2020.
Nadia Colom has been a key member of the campaign team, appearing at almost every event that the attorney general of Mississippi’s 16th district held throughout the course of his Senate campaign, according to a report from Mississippi Free Press. After the rally, Nadia Colom told the Mississippi Free Press that Scott Colom handed the phone over to her when Harris called about the rally. It looks like she needs a pick-me-up,” Scott reportedly told Kamala Harris, a gesture that Nadia said left her “floored.
Scott Colom, the Democrat Senate candidate from Mississippi, has over 1,000-vote lead over incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith after over 96% of the ballots have been counted (AP). The race is yet to be called, but Colum’s lead looks likely to hold over the next few rounds of counting. With him was his wife, Nadia Colom, who, those associated with is campaign say, is the real architect of the historic Senate run.
Colom, on the verge of becoming the first-ever Black Senator from Mississippi, gathered for an appreciation breakfast for volunteers at a Jackson, Mississippi, joint on Thursday morning.
