Economy & Taxes
Scott Colom’s campaign emphasizes lowering costs for families and targeted tax relief (for example, proposing elimination of income tax for teachers and police officers earning under $75,000) and calls for lower tariffs to reduce prices; he also emphasizes higher wages and protecting healthcare but does not present a comprehensive tax-and-spending blueprint in the cited material.
Healthcare
Scott Colom supports protecting and expanding access to health coverage, opposing cuts to Medicaid and measures that would raise costs for Mississippians; he has proposed restoring Medicaid funding cuts and raising taxes on very high earners to preserve health insurance access and save rural hospitals.
