Fund our elections at $400 million in this year’s budget!

Across the country, local election administrators and poll workers face massive challenges to provide voters with safe, secure, and modern elections. Since 2020, they have been sounding the alarm about our crumbling election infrastructure—from voting machines running on outdated software to increased harassment of poll workers to limited funds available to purchase paper ballots. Last year, Congress provided $75 million in election funding, a fraction of what states and localities actually need to run our elections. This year, administrators have made it clear they need a $400 million investment from the federal government to provide safe and secure elections for all. As your constituent, I am urging you to vote to provide this investment. States and localities need more resources to keep our elections secure and ensure every eligible Americans’ vote is counted, but they cannot do that without the federal government’s support. Please fund our elections at the $400 million amount! Thanks.
