For the People Act Manager’s Amendment Strengthens the Bill, Keeps Components Firmly in Place

May 05, 2021

End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on the manager’s amendment to the For the People Act (H.R. 1, S. 1) released today by the Senate Rules Committee.

“The manager’s amendment to the For the People Act addresses a number of practical concerns held by local election officials, while strengthening the bill’s major provisions that will limit the influence of money in politics so that billionaires can’t buy our elections and protect our freedom to vote equally in all 50 states. Chairwoman Klobuchar, working closely with Senator Merkley, has solicited and incorporated feedback from both sides of the aisle and deserves credit for running an inclusive process. We look forward to the Senate Rules Committee markup and swift action in the Senate. It is urgent that the For the People Act becomes law so that government works for everyone, not just those at the top.”
