Cory Booker is scheduled to campaign in Mississippi with Senate candidate Scott Colom on October 2, as Colom challenges incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. The visit continues Booker’s involvement in Mississippi Senate races after he campaigned for Mike Espy in 2018.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is scheduled to visit the Mississippi Gulf Coast on October 2 to campaign with Democrat Scott Colom. Colom announced the appearance alongside the launch of “Canvass with Colom”; he is running against incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the November 3 election, with independent Ty Pinkins also on the ballot.
The article notes Booker campaigned for Mike Espy in Mississippi’s 2018 special Senate election, which Hyde-Smith won by nearly eight points. It says redistricting, Black representation and healthcare could be among the subjects Booker and Colom address, while noting healthcare is a central focus of Colom’s platform.
