End Citizens United // Let America Vote Endorses New National Slate of Pro-Democracy Champions for Reelection

Aug 08, 2024

50 Senators and Members of Congress, from leadership to rank and file, endorsed in this slate, showing the depth and breadth of pro-democracy champions now in Congress

End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) today endorsed a national slate of anti-corruption, pro-democracy Senate and Congressional champions for reelection. This slate shows the incredible depth and breadth of powerful champions in Congress who are committed to getting Big Money out of politics, protecting the right to vote, and ultimately putting government back on the side of working people—not corporate special interests. Each of these members are strong supporters of the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which are the top legislative priorities for ECU // LAV.

“Our democracy is under attack by MAGA extremists and it’s more important than ever to reelect these strong champions of democracy,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “These leaders have spent their time in Washington standing up to corporate special interests because they know deep-seated corruption in Washington must be rooted out to make comprehensive change. They have—and will continue to—work to safeguard our democracy, freedom to vote, reproductive rights, civil liberties, and beyond. We’re excited to endorse this robust group of dedicated leaders and look forward to helping them win their elections.”
