Mississippi lawmakers have long been loathe to expose themselves to transparency or strict ethics, lobbying or campaign finance rules and enforcement.

Campaign finance reform bill gets cold response; lawmakers axe transparency component by Geoff Pender, Mississippi Today March 6, 2024 Inflamed by lack of investigation or enforcement of what he claimed were flagrant campaign finance violations by his opponent, Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann after winning his reelection primary last summer vowed to push for reform.

Attorney General Lynn Fitch wants campaign finance reform and more enforcement — wait, what? But lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in the Senate Elections Committee viewed the measure with a gimlet eye.
