Policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for Colom or any of the other six candidates. That leaves no stated positions to compare on federal spending, taxes, health care, immigration, national security or other matters that may come before the U.S. Senate.
The candidates’ party labels identify their affiliations, but those labels do not establish an individual position on a specific issue. A position can be attributed to a candidate only when the candidate has stated or documented it.
Campaign finance
No fundraising totals, spending totals or cash-on-hand amounts are on file for any of the seven candidates. As a result, there are no dollar figures for comparing the campaigns’ receipts, expenses or current balances.
That applies equally to Adlakha, Colom, Hyde-Smith, Littell, Pinkins, Smith and Till. Future campaign finance entries could add figures for one or more candidates as the election proceeds.
What voters should know
Mississippi voters will decide the contested U.S. Senate race in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The field currently spans three political labels: Democratic, Republican and independent.
The candidate list, documented policy positions and campaign finance figures may receive updates before Election Day. Those records will determine whether voters can make direct comparisons beyond party affiliation, incumbency and the names in the race.
