End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund is leading a coalition of groups including, Communications Workers of America, Brady PAC, Common Cause, and Public Citizen, in launching part of a $1.3 million TV and digital ad campaign thanking Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (MI-08) for supporting the For the People Act (H.R. 1). In the 116th Congress, Slotkin and House Democrats made passing the For the People Act their first legislative priority of the session. The bill protects the foundational principles of our democracy and is the most comprehensive anti-corruption and democracy reform legislation in decades. It brings dark money into the light, strengthens ethics law, and protects the right to vote for everyone.

“In the 116th Congress, we were grateful Elissa Slotkin’s leadership made passing the For the People Act the first bill of that session. Now, following an attack on our democracy––including an insurrection at the Capitol––it’s time to finish the job and pass this into law,” said ECU and LAV Action Fund President Tiffany Muller. “ECU and LAV thank Congresswoman Slotkin for supporting H.R. 1 and for continuing to fight to repair and protect our democracy and take on the corruption that is holding the country back.”
The ad campaign will air in Congresswoman Slotkin’s district and Washington D.C. with television and digital ads starting February 3rd.
Full TV ad script below:
Elissa Slotkin knows you can’t fix a corrupt system without shaking things up.
So during her first days in Congress, she voted to disclose the financial backers of everyone there.
And today, she has a chance to pass the most comprehensive anti-corruption legislation in decades.
To get dark money out of politics. Strengthen our ethics laws. And make both parties accountable to us again.
Thank Rep. Slotkin for supporting the For the People Act.
