Attorney General Lynn Fitch wants campaign finance reform and more enforcement — wait, what? by Geoff Pender, Mississippi Today February 19, 2024 Attorney General Lynn Fitch's reluctance to investigate or prosecute campaign finance violations last year prompted other state leaders to call for reform and more enforcement. Now Fitch is calling for — wait for it — campaign finance reform and more enforcement.
Records show that Fitch signed at least nine AG office contracts last year with out-of-state law firms that had donated more than $300,000 to her campaign. Secretary of State Michael Watson declined comment on Fitch's call for reform and statement that the $1,000 limit doesn't apply to out-of-state corporations. Watson has called for major reforms and last summer appeared to take a dig at Fitch when he said he wasn't seeking more power for his office.
