Scholten supports critical reform legislation like the For the People Act (H.R. 1)
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Hillary Scholten in Michigan’s Third Congressional District. Hillary 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.
“Hillary Scholten has always fought for Michiganders and will continue that fight in Washington,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “As a social worker, public interest lawyer, and public servant, Hillary has worked to fight for underserved communities both in Michigan and across the country. We need a new generation of reformers ready to take on rampant corruption in Washington, and Hillary will do just that. We’re proud to endorse Hillary Scholten, and we look forward to helping her win.”
“I am proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote,” said Hillary Scholten. “Our country was founded on the principle that government is instituted among the people and only derives its powers from the consent of the governed. Corporate special interests and voter suppression profoundly undermine this core tenet of our democracy. We must never stop fighting to return control of our government to the hands of the people, where it belongs.”
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 6,700 in MI-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.
