End Citizens United Praises CLEAN Politics Act

Jul 25, 2018

Companion bills introduced in Senate and House by Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. John Sarbanes

 

End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement praising the Curtailing Lobbyists and Empowering Americans for a New (CLEAN) Politics Act of 2018 introduced today by Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD):

“If we want to break through the rigged system in Congress, where influence is purchased by lobbyists representing Big Money special interests, we must act now and pass the CLEAN Politics Act.

“This bill would enact a series of common sense reforms to prevent lobbyists from exploiting our broken campaign finance system and exercising undue influence and power over our elected officials. More importantly, it will help level the playing field and restore power to the people.”

“End Citizens United thanks Senator Bennet and Congressman Sarbanes for their leadership and for fighting to end the stranglehold that lobbyists have over Congress. ECU is proud to support this bill.”
