Dr. Tracy Mitrano is rejecting corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money
End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Dr. Tracy Mitrano in New York’s 23rd Congressional District. Dr. Mitrano rejects corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money and is building a people-powered campaign.
“Dr. Tracy Mitrano is an educator, lawyer, and cybersecurity expert on a mission to restore democracy,” said ECU and LAV President Tiffany Muller. “She’s a fierce advocate for reform who will fight to root out corruption in Washington. As a scholar of American History, Dr. Mitrano knows just how damaged our election system is because of the influence of Big Money and corporate special interests. We’re proud to endorse Tracy Mitrano, and we look forward to helping her win.”
“At the root of all the challenges the people in the 23rd District face: healthcare, education, infrastructure, the environment, lies the need for campaign finance reform in Congress,” said Dr. Tracy Mitrano. “I could not be more proud to stand with the End Citizens United PAC in a mutual endeavor to get integrity and transparency back into government.”
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 8,000 in NY-23, 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.
