End Citizens United (ECU) today announced it is endorsing 55 reformers running for state-level office, all of whom are committed to fixing the broken campaign finance system.
“The corrosive and corrupting influence of unlimited, undisclosed money in politics is undermining all levels of our democracy,” said ECU President Tiffany Muller. “These candidates are committed to curbing the outsized influence that special interests wield over government, and returning power where it rightfully belongs: with everyday Americans. We’re proud to support these reformers, and we look forward to helping them win in November.”

ECU and FFR will connect its grassroots activists and donors with these candidates.
