Bryan Berghoef is rejecting corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Bryan Berghoef in Michigan’s Second Congressional District. Berghoef is running a people-powered campaign and is rejecting money from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists.
“As a pastor and community leader, Bryan Berghoef has dedicated his career to serving Michiganders,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “In his run for Congress, he’s continuing to prove he’ll work on behalf of Michigan families in Washington by rejecting both corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money. Bryan will fight to increase transparency and root out corruption in Washington. We’re proud to endorse Bryan Berghoef, and we look forward to helping him win.”
“Our campaign finance system is broken and is largely responsible for the dysfunction in our politics today,” said Bryan Berghoef. “We can’t continue to allow Big Money’s influence sway elections. I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote, and I look forward to working alongside them to put power back in the hands of the people.”
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 6,200 in MI-02, 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.
