It’s time to get the corruption of big money out of Washington to ensure legislation isn’t written by the highest bidder. Industry lobbyists, corporations, and wealthy individuals spend billions every year to influence Congress and federal agencies to put corporate interests above all else. Closing loopholes on lobbying and overturning Citizens United will help to get big, unaccountable, foreign, and secret money out of politics.
The American people deserve representatives who will fight for the dignity, health, and prosperity of their constituents—and that starts with holding our leaders accountable. We must also enact automatic voter registration for every 18 year-old citizen, expand access to online registration and early voting, and make Election Day a federal holiday. We must also impose term limits on the House and Senate in order to bring new voices to Congress and make publicly funded elections a reality.
