End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) today endorsed Congressman Jamie Raskin for reelection in Maryland’s 8th Congressional District. 

“Congressman Jamie Raskin is a leader among leaders in the fight to protect our democracy. He has a proven record fighting to reform the corrupt system that favors the wealthy elite and special interests over hardworking Maryland families,” said Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United // Let America Vote. “He knows our government can only truly work when the voice of the people is heard—not just those with the biggest checks. His commitment to transparency and accountability has helped pull back the curtain on the deep-seated corruption in Congress. We’re proud to endorse Congressman Raskin and look forward to helping him win.” 

“Our plutocratic campaign finance system has opened the door to a flood of corporate dark money, which is why I’ve fought to put the power back in the hands of the people,” said Congressman Jamie Raskin. “I’m honored to be endorsed by End Citizens United // Let America Vote, an organization that has led the charge in getting Big Money out of our politics and reforming our corrupt system. I will continue to work to hold our public officials accountable while rooting out Washington’s corruption to ensure that our government is truly by, for, and of people. I look forward to working alongside End Citizens United // Let America Vote as we build a stronger, more responsive democracy.”

Congressman Raskin has spent his career working to make our government more transparent and accountable, sponsoring the Get Foreign Money Out of U.S. Elections Act, cosponsoring the End Tax Breaks for Dark Money Act, and the DISCLOSE Act. He champions several other good government reforms, including the Fair Representation Act, the Freedom to Vote Act, and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Congressman Jamie Raskin received an ‘A’ on ECU // LAV’s 2024 legislative scorecard.

​​Congressman Raskin has also been the leading voice in the fight to reform the Supreme Court. He cosponsored the Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act of 2024, which would create an Office of the Inspector General within the judicial branch to better conduct alleged violations from Supreme Court justices.
