Scott Colom

Like our last Democratic candidate for governor got within three points of winning.

You know, last year we broke the supermajority in the state Senate.

But what I realized, I need to explain to people why I can win.

Right.

And the reality is.

When I ran for district attorney in 2015, I ran against a 30 year incumbent.

I was in a district that people thought I had no chance of winning.

But what I realized is that under the right circumstances, with the right opponent, and the right candidate, you can win a tough race in Mississippi.

And those three things are totally at play now, right?

I mean,

I got invited on the Gulf Coast, some Mississippians who previously voted Republicans.

Notice I didn't call them Republicans.

Mississippians who previously voted Republican.

They reached out to my campaign.

They said, listen, we love what you're doing on social media.

I was on a podcast and they were like, we love what you say on the podcast.

You're talking about Mississippi values.

We want you to come meet with us.

They said, maybe two or three people.

We'll see how it goes.
