Alan Cohn is rejecting corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Alan Cohn in Florida’s 15th Congressional District. Cohn is committed to rooting out corruption by rejecting corporate PAC money and contributions from federally-registered lobbyists.
“As an investigative journalist, Alan Cohn has dedicated his career to fighting corruption,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “Alan knows what corruption looks like and how to combat it, having spent his career exposing corrupt politicians at all levels of government. Now, in his run for Congress, Alan is putting anti-corruption at the forefront of his campaign to shake up the status quo in Washington. We’re proud to endorse Alan Cohn, and we look forward to helping him win.”
“Unlike most members of Congress, I’m not a millionaire,” said Alan Cohn. “That’s why I’m running to build an economy that works for all Americans, not just the wealthy and well-connected. While I’ve spent my entire career investigating and exposing corruption, Scott Franklin will be beholden to the corporate special interests in Washington. In Congress, I will fight to unrig the rigged system so that the government works better for Florida families. I’m proud to have ECU and LAV’s support, and I look forward to working closely with them in our shared fight to root out corruption.”
ECU and LAV recently merged to combat the two biggest challenges facing our democracy: Big Money and voter suppression. ECU is dedicated to getting Big Money out of politics and fixing the rigged system in Washington so that the government works for all Americans. LAV is building a grassroots effort to fight back against voter suppression and protect every American’s right to vote.
ECU and LAV will work to end our rigged political system by electing reform champions, passing meaningful legislative reforms, and elevating these issues in the national conversation. ECU has more than four million members nationwide, including over 6,000 in FL-15, and is entirely grassroots-funded with an average donation of just $14. In 2018, over 1,000 LAV grassroots volunteers knocked on over 340,000 doors, made 112,000 calls, and sent 341,000 texts to help elect 100 pro-democracy leaders.
