End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on Betsy Dirksen Londrigan’s primary win in IL-13:
“Congratulations to Betsy Dirksen Londrigan on last night’s big win. Betsy’s reform-focused campaign earned her the trust of voters who are fed up with Washington’s rigged system. Betsy is rejecting corporate PAC money and building a people-powered movement. She proved that Illinoisans want an accountable leader who will fight for them in Congress. ECU is proud to support Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, and we look forward to helping her win in November.”
ECU endorsed Betsy Dirksen Londrigan in June because of her commitment to fighting corruption and making Washington work for Illinoisians. Recently, ECU merged with Let America Vote (LAV) to combat the two biggest threats to our democracy: Big Money and voter suppression. The grassroots reform groups will work together to elect reform champions, pass legislative reforms, and elevate these issues in the national conversation. ECU has more than four million members nationwide, including 6,800 in Illinois’ 13th Congressional District, and is entirely grassroots-funded with an average donation of just $14.
