“The flood of Big Money is seeping into state elections, and it threatens to corrupt the political system at all levels,” said Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United. “These reformers are running their campaigns in support of transparency and accountability in government — not for special interests. We’re proud to lend our grassroots support to these reformers, and we look forward to helping them win in November.”
ECU was established in March 2015 to counter the harmful effects of Citizens United and reform our campaign finance system. Its affiliated project, Fight for Reform (FFR), focuses on bringing transparency and accountability to state and local elections around the country. ECU and FFR will connect its grassroots activists and donors with these candidates.
