OCEAN SPRINGS, Mississippi -- Ocean Springs Mayor Connie Moran has joined a group of 50 Mississippi mayors who are publicly endorsing Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for president.

"Hillary Clinton's strong support for education and healthcare for all families regardless of race or zip code is why I support her," Moran said in a statement released by the Clinton campaign.

"Hillary Clinton has a progressive record of standing up for the people and our needs and I'm excited to take a stand behind her as she takes actions to make America better."

Moran, a Democrat in her third term as Ocean Springs mayor, is the only Mississippi coast mayor among the 50 currently endorsing Clinton. She will also be one of four Mississippi mayors participating in the Clinton campaign's "Get Out The Vote Kickoff" at Tougaloo College on Thursday.
