End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement praising Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate:
“Governor Walz is a champion of democracy and voting rights — and a terrific pick to be Vice President.
“Governor Walz doesn’t just understand that democracy must work for and be accessible to all Americans, he has the record to back it up. He signed into law a package of bills creating Automatic Voter Registration and a permanent absentee list, expanded early voting, and to join the national popular vote compact. He also signed into law stronger lobbying restrictions, created stricter transparency for government officials personal finances, and cracked down on dark money and foreign-owned corporations spending in elections.
“Additionally, Governor Walz knows that politicians must be accountable to the people, not their own personal fortunes, which is why he passed the STOCK Act through a Republican controlled House of Representatives and got it signed into law, banning insider trading in Congress.
“We look forward to helping elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this November and working with the Harris-Walz Administration to protect and defend our democracy.”
