AG Lynn Fitch Protecting Mississippi

Last week, I joined 44 state and territory attorneys general in signing a bipartisan letter urging Congress to include Edith’s Bill in any COVID-19 relief legislation. As the pandemic persists, seniors across the country have fallen victim to scams, such as those that ask for personal information in exchange for phony tests and cures for COVID-19. The legislation would help senior victims recover financial losses incurred as a result of fraud.

As Mississippi’s chief legal officer, I am committed to protecting our seniors who are especially vulnerable to fraud and abuse, fighting to safeguard the retirement savings they worked a lifetime to build. Edith’s Bill is an important step to providing victims with the financial relief they deserve.

‘On the Stump’ with Y’all Politics

With Neshoba County Fair cancelled, Y’all Politics stepped in to provide a virtual substitute. I was pleased to have that opportunity to share all the great new initiatives we’ve taken at the Attorney General’s Office this year. Not only are we Mississippi’s premier law firm, we’re also a real public service entity. And, since taking office in January, we have been working to restructure the Attorney General’s Office to better meet the needs of the state.
