Kahele supports critical reform legislation like the For the People Act (H.R. 1)
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Kai Kahele in Hawaii’s Second Congressional District. Kai 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 an Air Force veteran and State Senator, Kai Kahele has time and again demonstrated his willingness to put the needs of people first,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “A strong supporter of the For the People Act, Kai knows we must get dark money and its corrupting influence out of politics and increase government transparency. We’re proud to endorse Kai Kahele, and we look forward to helping him win.”
“Bringing change to the current campaign finance system is essential to restore public trust in our government and in those we choose to represent us,” said Kai Kahele. “In Washington, I’ll always put the interests of the people of Hawai‘i and our nation first. I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and Let America Vote, and I look forward to fighting alongside them to fight corruption and fix the broken system in Washington.”
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 9,900 in HI-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.
