Scott Colom has dedicated his life to justice in his home state with roles at the Mississippi Center for Justice, as a justice court judge in Lowndes County and the City of Aberdeen, as a private plaintiff’s-side attorney, and as the District Attorney of Mississippi’s 16th District. He is also a historic figure, serving as both the first Black justice court judge of Lowndes County and the first Black city prosecutor of his hometown of Columbus. In March, he won the Democratic nomination to run for U.S. Senate in the 2026 midterm election. He is a seventh-generation Mississippian, proud husband and father of two girls, and a member of the Divine Nine, and a district attorney who fights every day to keep Mississippians safe.
