The Man Who Could Flip Mississippi — And the Senator Too Scared to Face Him

We talk with Scott Colom about what it takes to fight for a place others have written off. A seventh-generation Mississippian and district attorney, he explains how public service, criminal justice reform, and listening to voters shaped his run for the U.S. Senate. The conversation draws a sharp contrast between politics rooted in trust and leadership that disappears from public view. We also talk about tariffs, rural investment, voting rights, and why campaigns are won by listening and delivering for people who feel ignored by both parties.
