Mississippi Senate Race Heats Up | Jackson News

Mississippi heads to the polls November 3, 2026, for a pivotal U.S. Senate race where incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith seeks re-election against Democrat Scott Colom and Independent Ty Pinkins—a decorated vet and son of Delta farmers. Hyde-Smith champions IVF access while pushing prison cellphone bans; Colom touts his high conviction rate and inmate rehabilitation focus, plus a past judicial nomination blocked by Hyde-Smith. Pinkins vows to overturn Citizens United and ban lawmaker stock trading, appealing to voters craving change. With starkly different visions on economy, justice, and ethics, this race could redefine Mississippi’s voice in Washington for six years.
