Campaign website
Martin's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Mississippians need an attorney general who will represent everyday people like us who aren’t political donors or wealthy CEOs. As Attorney General, Greta will: Prosecute corruption in government because politicians should never be above the law. Stand up for seniors and working people to get health care costs down, enforce labor laws, and stop corporate greed. Represent every Mississippian from Tishomingo County to Issaquena County to Hancock County and everywhere in between, rather than focusing on cases outside Mississippi. Ensure our state works for women, from fighting for an equal pay law to taking on workplace harassment to combating domestic violence.[2] |
