End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on Sima Ladjevardian (TX-02) advancing to Texas primary runoff:
“Congratulations to Sima Ladjevardian. Sima is rejecting corporate PAC money and proving to Texans that she’ll put their needs first in Congress. Sima knows that progress on critical issues impacting Texans, like accessing healthcare and lowering the cost of prescription drugs, can’t be accomplished without rooting out Big Money special interests’ influence over Washington. We look forward to helping her win in May.”
End Citizens United (ECU) endorsed Sima Ladjevardian because of her commitment to fight corruption and making Washington work for Texans. 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 5,200 in Texas’ Second Congressional District, and is entirely grassroots-funded with an average donation of just $14.
