Jennifer Riley Collins is running to be Mississippi's next Attorney General and she could be the first African American to win a statewide seat in her state since Reconstruction, and the first woman to be attorney general.

The veteran—she served 32 years in the U.S. Army as an intelligence officer, 14 years in active duty and 18 years on the U.S. National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve—has also been a champion for the vulnerable and marginalized her entire life. Her experience as a lawyer includes advocating for first amendment and reproductive rights and criminal justice reform. That's earned her a slew of endorsements, including NARAL, EMILY's List, AFL-CIO, VoteVets, and the American Federation of Teachers, among others. But her civil rights work is what defines her.

"Being a civil rights attorney in the state of Mississippi where you are constantly fighting against people determined to hold Mississippi back, who want to maintain Mississippi as a closed society, yet still have successes in moving the needle forward is nothing to sneeze at," Riley Collins says.
