In their own words

“successfully fought to end the unconstitutional practice of locking poor Mississippians up for months and years without a lawyer”

“Cliff works to reform a broken criminal legal system... He's shut down debtors’ prisons where poor people have been jailed illegally because they simply cannot afford the misdemeanor fines”

“Cliff’s Priorities for Mississippi ... Protect and expand affordable healthcare”
