SUMMARY: Gret Kim Martin, the Democratic candidate for attorney general in Mississippi, criticized Republican incumbent Lynn Fitch's time in office, discussing abortion policy, campaign finance law, strategies for reducing violence, and more. Martin believes that government should not interfere in healthcare decisions, including abortion, and that Mississippi needs leaders who will fight for the state's interests. She also addressed issues such as high rates of infant and maternal mortality, police misconduct, voting rights for felons, gun violence, and labor laws. Martin emphasized the importance of a fair and effective legal system that serves and protects the people of Mississippi.

It's Greta Kemp Martin's turn in the spotlight. We spoke one on one with Attorney General Lynn Fitch last week. Now the Democratic candidate lets loose with criticism of the Republican incumbent's time in office. She talks about abortion policy, campaign finance law, strategies for curbing violence and more with 12 News' Byron Brown. Produced by Tom Wright.
