Columbus, MS — The Congressional Black Caucus PAC (CBCPAC) today announced its endorsement of Scott Colom for the United States Senate, citing his commitment to working families, rural communities, and ensuring Mississippi has a strong, independent voice in Washington.

“I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, representing the members known as Congress’ moral compass,” said District Attorney Colom. “For too long, Mississippi has been overlooked and taken for granted. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to make sure our voices are heard and to bring change to our communities. This endorsement is an important investment in our work to grow our ‘Mississippi Matters’ movement and build a better future for our state, one where Mississippi truly comes first.”

“Scott Colom understands what Mississippi families are up against and has shown he’s willing to fight for them,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks, Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC. “Mississippi deserves a Senator who will speak up for working people, defend access to quality health care, and push back against policies that leave rural and Black communities behind. Scott Colom will be a strong partner in the Senate and a voice Mississippians can count on.”

The endorsement reflects the CBCPAC’s mission to elect leaders who will fight for economic opportunity, protect access to health care, and stand up for communities that have too often been left behind.
