At a press briefing, Scott Colom answers the claim that a lot of money poured into his race. He says his opponent did zero town halls and zero press appearances in six years, took as much out-of-state money as anybody running for United States Senate, got hundreds of thousands of dollars from APAC, and is in no position to talk about fundraising. Colom says he raised money from all 82 Mississippi counties.

She said a lot of money poured in. Is that what happened here? Absolutely not. I worked my butt off. Everybody who followed this race knows that for a year and a half I campaigned all across the state and she didn't campaign anywhere. She did zero town halls in six years. She did zero press appearances. Right? She would never give Mississippi today an interview. She would never give WAPT, WLPT, WCBI, she would never give me an interview. So it was a testament to our hard work because she got a lot of out of state money. She got as much out of state money as anybody running for United States Senate. She got more money at one point. She got more money from people in Florida than she got from people in Mississippi. She got hundreds of thousands of dollars from APAC. You know, why are they giving her so much money? Right? So she's got no, she's got no, she's not in no position to talk about fundraising. I'm proud that I got money from all A2 counties.
