The Citizens United decision broke our democracy, and I want you to take concrete action to fix it. That means co-sponsoring and actively pushing legislation to overturn Citizens United, mandate full disclosure of political spending, and end the flood of unlimited dark money corrupting our elections.
Corporations are not people, and money is not speech. Since Citizens United, billionaires and special interests have poured hundreds of millions of undisclosed dollars into our elections, drowning out the voices of ordinary voters. Politicians who rely on that money don't answer to constituents — they answer to donors. That's not representation, it's a rigged system.
I'm watching how you vote on campaign finance reform. Your constituents deserve a government that works for people, not one that's been purchased by the highest bidder. Stand with the majority of Americans who want big money out of politics and make overturning Citizens United a legislative priority.
