Scott Colom Introduces His Family Following Historic Senate Victory

Mississippi voters chose a new U.S. senator on Wednesday when CNN projected Scott Colom won the state’s Senate race.

Political and legal experience runs deep in the Colom family across Mississippi. Colom is a seventh-generation resident of the state whose family history connects closely to its legal and political institutions, according to The Root.

His mother, Dorothy Colom, retired as a judge after making history as the first African American elected to Mississippi’s 14th Chancery District, as reported by The Root. His father, Wilbur Colom, works as an attorney and founding partner of the Colom Law Firm with past political involvement that includes working with former President Ronald Reagan, The Root reported.

Andrew Colom, an identical twin brother and Detroit-based developer, contributed to the campaign by helping create advertisements, including a parody inspired by Ryan Coogler’s film “Sinners” that featured the brothers together, according to The Root. Andrew spoke about the electoral outcome to CNN on November 11, 2026.

“The state of Mississippi was pouring into my brother. My brother was receiving all their love, all their ideas, all their excitement, all their needs.”

said Andrew Colom, describing the response from voters to CNN.

Nadia Dale Colom, a Jackson State University graduate with a master’s degree from New York University who works in real estate and property management, supported the campaign by organizing a mobile food truck that visited college campuses, participating in events, and moderating panels, according to The Root. The couple married in 2014 and shares two daughters, Gwendolyn “Luci” Lucille and Brooklyn “Madi” Madison, as reported by The Root.

“She made that dream possible for me. She’s been the love of my life.”

Colom addressed supporters following the race projection. Scott Colom captured the collective spirit in his victory speech, telling supporters: “It’s not something that I did, it’s something we did.”

“THANK YOU, MISSISSIPPI! This victory belongs to all of us and I am honored to be your new senator-elect.”
