End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) today endorsed Representative Lucy McBath for Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District.
“Representative McBath is a fierce advocate for Georgia families with a proven track record of standing up for our democracy in Washington,” said Tiffany Muller, President of ECU // LAV. “While Georgia’s Republicans have continued to rig the maps in an effort to draw Representative McBath out of office, we know she will not be deterred in her fight for working families. We need her leadership and advocacy in Congress to ensure every voter in Georgia has a voice in Washington. We’re proud to endorse her and look forward to helping Representative McBath win again.”
“I’ve spent my career working to strengthen our democracy and I will not let Republicans bully me out of continuing to work for Georgia families,” said Representative Lucy McBath. “The stakes have never been higher and I am committed to amplifying my constituents’ voices and fighting for the issues that matter most to them. I’m proud to have End Citizens United // Let America Vote’s support and look forward to working alongside them to root out corruption in Washington and ensure that everyone has equal access to the ballot box.”
Representative McBath was a part of the historic class that flipped Congress in 2018 by promising to stand up for working families and working to protect and expand voting rights. Since taking office, McBath has consistently delivered on her promise to Georigians. She has twice cosponsored the For the People Act (H.R. 1)––a once-in-a-generation anti-corruption bill that would stop billionaires and corporate special interests from buying our elections, shine a light on dark money, end partisan gerrymandering, and protect the freedom to vote. She was also a cosponsor for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and has supported a number of reform bills including the DISCLOSE Act.
