Mitsch Bush is rejecting corporate PAC money
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Diane Mitsch Bush in Colorado’s Third Congressional District. Mitsch Bush is building a grassroots movement of small donors by rejecting corporate PAC money.
“As County Commissioner and a State Representative, Diane Mitsch Bush has been a problem solver who’s taken on tough fights throughout her career,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “Diane knows that progress on critical issues impacting Coloradans, like affordable health care and cheaper prescription drugs, isn’t possible without comprehensive reform. We’re proud to endorse Diane Mitsch Bush, and we look forward to helping her win.”
“One of the main reasons I’m running is to restore our voice in Congress and end the rigged system that allows corporate special interests to buy politicians,” said Diane Mitsch Bush. “In Congress, I will push for measures that build off of the For the People Act and DISCLOSE Act in order to get dark money out of politics and limit the influence of corporate special interests in Washington. I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote, and I look forward to working alongside them to root out corruption, protect voting rights and restore faith in our democracy.
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 11,000 in CO-03, 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.
