End Citizens United//Let America Vote Action Fund President Tiffany Muller issued the below statement praising Congressman John Sarbanes for his leadership on the For the People Act (H.R.1), which passed in the House of Representatives today. Sarbanes is the lead author of the bill.
“We are incredibly grateful to Congressman Sarbanes for his commitment to making our democracy responsive and accountable to the people. After 15 years of speaking out against institutional corruption and advocating for reforms to strengthen our democracy, his bill has become the centerpiece of the Democratic agenda. The For the People Act represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unrig the broken system in Washington so that our elected officials can go back to doing the people’s business instead of catering to the wealthy elites and corporate special interests. We wouldn’t be here today without his vision and leadership.”
