(The Hill) The grassroots organizations End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) endorsed President Biden’s reelection campaign on Thursday, the combined group first told The Hill.
End Citizens United, which advocates for curtailing the power of outside money in politics, and Let America Vote, which is focused on fighting voter suppression, said their endorsement for Biden and Vice President Harris is due to their dedication to voting rights legislation.
“Our democracy is facing a clear and present danger––one that demands our collective attention and commitment to action,” ECU and LAV president Tiffany Muller told The Hill in a statement. “The rise of Republican election denialism, dark money groups, and corruption threaten the very foundation of our nation. President Biden and Vice President Harris share these concerns and have consistently championed reforms to address these critical issues.”
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have dedicated their careers to public service and championing middle-class families. Their North Star is always what’s best for the American people and our democracy—unlike MAGA Republicans who continue to serve special interests, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy,” Biden-Harris 2024 campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement first obtained by The Hill. Rodriguez added that Biden and Harris “are honored to be endorsed by End Citizens United (ECU) and proud to continue the fight for a stronger, more transparent democracy for all.”
