ECU // LAV made a five-figure investment in digital ads supporting Lee in the primary
End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement congratulating Summer Lee on winning the Democratic primary in PA-12:
“Congratulations to Summer Lee, who beat back a historic wave of outside special interest money to win the Democratic nomination with the power of grassroots tonight. She’s fought hard for the people of Pennsylvania and will keep doing so in Congress. From fighting against corporate greed so Pennsylvania workers have fair pay to pushing back on corporate polluters trying to ruin Pennsylvania’s water supply, Lee has always put Pennsylvanians first. She’s also been a key voice in the fight to protect the freedom to vote, calling out self-serving politicians passing restrictive voter laws and supporting the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, one of the most significant anti-corruption and voting rights bills in generations that would protect the freedom to vote and end dark money by making all political donations public.
“We are excited about her victory tonight and look forward to helping elect her this November.”
Earlier this month, ECU // LAV made a five figure investment in digital ads to support Lee in the primary.
ECU // LAV is a leading anti-corruption and voting rights group. The grassroots-funded political action committee raised and spent $65.5 million in the 2020 election cycle to elect candidates fighting to limit the influence of big money in politics and protect the freedom to vote. ECU // LAV has more than four million members nationwide, including over 300,000 in Pennsylvania.
