Anchorage, AK, October 20, 2026 —
Senate Majority PAC, which is aligned with Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, has launched its first advertising campaign in Mississippi, committing $1.2 million to support Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom in his race against Republican incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
The campaign marks the group’s first ad effort in the state. Its investment is intended to support Colom as he challenges Hyde-Smith, and the move signals Democratic optimism about making the contest competitive in a state described in the campaign summary as traditionally Republican.
The announcement provides no further details about the advertisements, including their format, when they will begin airing, how long they will run or which audiences they will target. It also does not specify whether the $1.2 million covers advertising alone or includes other campaign-related expenses.
The summary does not provide polling, fundraising figures for either candidate, or statements from Colom, Hyde-Smith or the PAC explaining the decision. It therefore offers no additional evidence about the campaign’s strategy or the candidates’ standing in the race. The investment establishes that the group is entering the Mississippi contest with a substantial ad campaign, but the information available does not detail how the effort may affect the race.
Senate Majority PAC’s action places Colom’s contest with Hyde-Smith within the group’s political activity in Mississippi. Further information about the campaign’s content, schedule and response from the candidates was not provided.
