ECU’s affiliate, Fight for Reform, will connect local grassroots members with endorsed candidates running for state-level office

End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed 22 reformers in state-level races in North Carolina, all of whom are committed to securing the right to vote and rooting out corruption in the General Assembly.

“For too long, the corrupt status quo in the North Carolina General Assembly has enabled rampant voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “These 22 reformers are fighting back by committing to passing comprehensive anti-corruption, voting rights, and ethics reform legislation. We’re proud to endorse these reformers, and we look forward to helping them win and fix North Carolina’s rigged political system.”
