“These fundraising hauls are a testament to the trust and confidence voters have in these leaders,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Whether it’s standing up to Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices or fighting for middle class families against Big Banks and Wall Street, voters know this class of reformers is working tirelessly to make Washington work for all Americans, not just the corporate special interests. The grassroots community is fired up by their ability to bring change.”
