Win or lose, Scott Colom’s campaign made some of the most memorable political ads in recent history.
“Pick another protein, pick another senator instead” was obviously seared into the minds of Mississippi voters.
Scott has been elected as the first Black senator in the state since 1874, it was determined Wednesday night following a prolonged ballot count. His race against incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith had been too close to call until now.
Scott attended Christ School from 1996-1998. He would have been a member of the Class of 2001 but chose to finish high school in his hometown of Columbus, Miss. Former Head of School Russ Ingersoll remembers Scott as being a great Greenie.
Congratulations, Senator Colom!
