Nov 07, 2022

Throughout the 2022 campaign, End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) has hit the road to campaign for candidates across the nation committed to protecting the vote and voice of every American. In total, ECU // LAV President Tiffany Muller and ECU staff traveled to 14 states and 31 cities for 53 candidates across 27,000 miles.

For perspective, 27,000 miles is comparable to:

  • More than the distance around Earth, which is 24,901 miles
