| In Clarksdale, Colom holds a stakeholders’ roundtable and a Community Fish Fry on accountability, continuing a week making the case that Cindy Hyde-Smith only takes care of herself while Mississippi gets the bill WATCH: Prosecutor Scott Colom lays out plan to clean up Washington, brings the receipts on Cindy Hyde-Smith’s corruption – FULL VIDEO HERE |
Clarksdale, MS — For your planning purposes, tomorrow, Thursday, July 16, District Attorney and U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom brings his plan to clean up Washington to the Mississippi Delta, sitting down with Coahoma County leaders and families to hear how that corruption is landing as real costs at home. Colom will hold an accountability roundtable discussion at the Carnegie Public Library in the early evening, then join the community for a fish fry at Union Grove M.B. Church, where he will speak and take questions from local residents. All week, Scott Colom has laid out the receipts on Cindy Hyde-Smith’s corruption and how it costs Mississippians: more than $10,000 in Las Vegas hotel stays billed to her campaign and a vote to keep that spending secret, donations from the fertilizer companies now under federal investigation for price-fixing while farmers watch their costs climb, and a vote to let politicians keep trading the stocks they regulate. In Clarksdale, Colom plans to take that case to the Delta, where catfish and row-crop farmers are paying more to run their operations, families are paying more for care, and the senator who is supposed to fight for them is looking out for herself. Colom is a prosecutor doing what a prosecutor does before he makes his case: listening to the people who are paying the price. He is running to end the corruption that is costing Mississippi and to put this state first.
