Mississippi Senate candidate Scott Colom releases Halloween campaign ad on TikTok

Scott Colom, the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate in Mississippi, released a new campaign video over Halloween weekend ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The Hill reported that the candidate published the advertisement on TikTok. [1][2]

The video pays homage to Sinners, an Academy Award-winning film set in the Mississippi Delta in 1932 that stars Michael B. Jordan playing twin brothers. According to The Hill, the plot of the movie focuses on the twins returning to their home town. [1]

Colom currently serves as district attorney for the 16th Judicial District of Mississippi after previously working as a municipal judge in Aberdeen and a city prosecutor in Columbus. He attended Millsaps College and the University of Wisconsin Law School, and was formerly nominated to serve as a United States district judge for the Northern District of Mississippi. [2][5]

As FTMQ Politics reported earlier, Senate Majority PAC spent $1.2 million on television and digital advertisements in Mississippi to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith as part of a broader effort by Democrats to secure control of the United States Senate. [6]
