I’m writing as your constituent to demand that you publicly denounce and take every available step to block Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to seize control of the Federal Election Commission. This is not a partisan matter—it is about safeguarding the integrity of our democracy.
The FEC exists to enforce campaign finance law, not to serve as a political weapon. Any move to stack it with loyalists or weaken its independence is an attack on free and fair elections themselves. Congress cannot look away. Silence or delay at this moment would amount to complicity.
I urge you to:
• Publicly condemn Trump’s attempt to politicize the FEC.
• Support legislation and oversight actions that preserve the Commission’s independence.
• Reaffirm your commitment to transparent, accountable elections that belong to the people, not to any single individual or party.
There is no excuse for inaction. The American people are watching, and history will remember who defended democracy—and who stood aside while it was dismantled.
To do nothing is to collaborate with a traitor.
