End Citizens United (ECU) and Let America Vote (LAV) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on news that Representative Max Rose (NY-11) is advancing to the general election:
“Congressman Max Rose is already fighting against the status quo in Washington and delivering results for New Yorkers. Max won this battleground district in 2018 by building a people-powered campaign and rejecting corporate PAC and lobbyist money. As a congressman, he followed through on his commitment to put New Yorkers first by voting to lower the cost of prescription drugs and leading the charge to pass the For the People Act, the most comprehensive anti-corruption, voting rights and reform bill since Watergate. Unlike Nicole Malliotakis, who is bankrolled by Big Money special interests, Max is fighting every day on behalf of New Yorkers. We look forward to re-electing Congressman Rose so that he can continue the incredible work he’s started.”
ECU endorsed Rose’s re-election campaign in March 2019 as part of the group’s first round of House incumbent endorsements. Rose, who ran on a platform of reform in 2018, rejects corporate PAC money and showed leadership in the passage of the For the People Act (H.R.1). The reform group has four million members nationwide, including 5,000 in NY-11, and is entirely grassroots-funded with an average donation of just $14.
