“No Corporate PAC candidates have consistently fired up the grassroots throughout the cycle. They’ve proven that you do not need to take corporate PAC money to compete. And this quarter’s impressive fundraising hauls show voters continue to be energized by their leadership and commitment to making government work for the people,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “These reformers have stood up to Big Pharma to lower the cost of prescription drugs, protected middle class families against Big Banks, and fought to provide quality, affordable healthcare. They’re changing the rigged system, and the grassroots are joining them in the fight.”
