End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement congratulating Congressman Matt Cartwright on winning the Democratic primary in PA-08:
“Congratulations to Congressman Matt Cartwright on his victory tonight. Congressman Cartwright is a leader when it comes to ensuring that every American can make their voice heard at the ballot box, co-authoring the Time Off to Vote Act, which would give all workers at least two hours of paid time off to vote. He’s also fought back against billionaire and corporate-backed dark money groups trying to buy our elections. He sponsored the OPEN Act to improve transparency by discouraging dark money groups from using social welfare status to funnel millions into elections so that hard working Pennsylvanians won’t have their voices drowned out by wealthy and powerful elites.
“We are excited about his victory tonight and look forward to re-electing him this November.”
