“Our democracy is facing unprecedented threats from MAGA extremists who look to undermine our elections and there is no one better to stand up to them in the Senate than Congressman Adam Schiff,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “As lead manager in the first impeachment trial against Donald Trump, Congressman Schiff showed that he will always stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law. He’s also been leading the charge to root out corruption in government and holding corporate special interests accountable, which is why he is refusing to take corporate PAC money. His leadership will safeguard the future of our nation and strengthen our democracy. We’re excited to endorse Congressman Schiff and look forward to working with him in the Senate.”
“Since my first days in Congress, I have been a champion of campaign finance reform. And I am proud to carry the constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. End Citizens United // Let America Vote is doing such important work to keep dark money out of politics and protect our democracy,” said Adam Schiff. “I am deeply grateful for their endorsement for U.S. Senate and look forward to our continued work together.”
