‘I kept the faith’: Scott Colom’s full victory speech


Scott Colom said his Senate campaign started with a prayer.

Paying homage to the historical figures who came before him — the first Black senator in the country, Hiram Revels, civil rights icons Medgar Evers and Fannie Lou Hamer — Colom said he had to have faith to keep campaigning when others didn’t believe in him.

In celebrating his win, Colom was clear to point out, “it’s not something that I did, y’all. It’s something that we did. All I did was have the courage to imagine a night like this.”
