Elliott supports critical reform legislation like the For the People Act (H.R. 1)
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Joyce Elliott in Arkansas’ Second Congressional District. Elliott supports critical 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 a lifelong educator, Joyce Elliott has dedicated her career to serving Arkansas families,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “After her teaching career, Joyce continued advocating for Arkansans as a State Representative and State Senator. Now, she’s running for Congress to stand up for Arkansans’ interests and challenge the status quo in Washington. We’re proud to endorse Joyce Elliott, and we look forward to helping her win.”
“My campaign is about public service, not self-service,” said Joyce Elliott. “The revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms has corrupted the policymaking process, and for too long, our elected officials have prioritized the needs of special interests while ignoring those of Arkansas families. I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote, and I look forward to working alongside them to rid Washington of 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 5,300 in AR-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.
