Jones is a leader in the fight to defend our democracy and get Big Money out of politics
End Citizens United // Let America Vote today endorsed Congressman Mondaire Jones in New York’s 10th Congressional District.
“Congressman Mondaire Jones has emerged as a leader in the fight to root out corruption in Washington and fixing the rigged system that allows corporate special interests to silence the voices of hard-working New Yorkers,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “Whether it’s passing legislation to get big money out of politics or ensuring that every American can make their voice heard at the ballot box, Representative Jones is laser-focused on delivering results for New Yorkers and giving them a voice in Congress. We’re proud to endorse Congressman Jones and look forward to seeing him win this November.”
“I’m proud to have the support of End Citizens United and Let America Vote, critical partners in the fight to save and strengthen our democracy. Together, we’ve fought to get Big Money out of our elections and reform our broken campaign finance system to give working-class candidates a fighting chance at the ballot,” said Congressman Mondaire Jones. “That’s why I’ll always reject corporate PAC contributions and never stop fighting to defend our democracy in Congress, where I played an instrumental role in passing H.R. 1 and co-authored the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. With End Citizens United and Let America Vote by my side in our historic campaign to represent New York’s 10th district, I know we can take on Big Money and win again.”
Since first running for office, Congressman Jones has rejected all corporate PAC money, proving that he is accountable only to the people of New York, not corporate special interests. Congressman Jones has pushed to overturn the disastrous Citizens United ruling and end dark money in our elections by making all political contributions fully transparent and accessible to the public. He’s fought tirelessly to protect the freedom to vote, introducing the Right to Vote Act, which would create for the first time a statutory right to vote that cannot be restricted. Under the bill, state governments would not be able to unilaterally enact measures making it harder to vote without a justifiable reason, ending their ability to justify restrictive anti-voting bills in the name of “voter fraud” that doesn’t exist. The Right to Vote Act was included into the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.
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.
