Senator Heinrich received an ‘A’ on ECU // LAV’s 2024 legislative scorecard for his pro-democracy, anti-corruption work

End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) today endorsed Senator Martin Heinrich for reelection in New Mexico.

“Senator Heinrich has been at the forefront of the fight to root out corruption in government and put people back at the center of the decision-making process,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “He knows that the voices of New Mexico families are too often drowned out by the wealthy special interests because they buy access and influence with campaign contributions. Unlike his opponent Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire former hedge fund executive, Senator Heinrich has a strong record of working to reform this system and understands the issues families in the state face. We’re excited to endorse Senator Heinrich for reelection and look forward to helping him win.”

“I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United // Let America Vote—an organization that understands that our democracy can only work when the American people—not the wealthy elite—are the priority,” said Senator Martin Heinrich. “The rampant corruption and pay-to-play system in Washington has eroded Americans’ trust in elected officials, but I have always put New Mexico families first. Unlike my opponent, I will continue to fight for better transparency and stricter accountability in our government to rebuild confidence and get things done. I look forward to working alongside End Citizens United // Let America Vote to root out corruption and strengthen our democracy.”

Senator Heinrich knows our government can never be truly representative of the people until all voices are heard—not just the wealthy elite and special interests. He has long fought for crucial reform and has legislation like the DISCLOSE Act. He also staunchly believes in protecting and expanding the freedom to vote, which is why he has cosponsored the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. He’s been a fierce advocate for the Native American Voting Rights Act. Senator Heinrich received an ‘A’ on ECU // LAV’s 2024 legislative scorecard.

ECU // LAV is dedicated to combating the two biggest challenges facing our democracy: the corrosive impact of Big Money and attempts to block access to the ballot box. Since its founding in 2015, the group has had over 1 million donors and raised $200 million, with an average donation of just $14. The group has more than 4 million members nationwide.
