DePasquale supports critical reform legislation like the For the People Act (H.R. 1)
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Eugene DePasquale in Pennsylvania’s Tenth Congressional District. Eugene supports key reform legislation like the For the People Act, the most sweeping anti-corruption, voting rights and ethics reform bill since Watergate, and the DISCLOSE Act.
“As Pennsylvania’s Auditor General, Eugene DePasquale has taken on powerful interest groups and exposed corruption,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “Eugene knows that enacting meaningful reform, like the For the People Act, is the first step in making our system more transparent and leveling the playing field for Pennsylvanians. We’re proud to endorse Eugene DePasquale, and we look forward to helping him win.”
“Money in politics is corrupting our system by giving wealthy special interests too much power,” said Eugene DePasquale. “Whether it’s demanding more accountability from corrupt bureaucrats, exposing waste of taxpayer dollars, or fighting for affordable healthcare for Pennsylvanians, I’ve worked my entire career to put power back in the hands of the people. I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote, and I look forward to working alongside them in the fight against government 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 6,200 in PA-10, 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.
