Political Quotes

“We are delivering a major victory for American families today, a victory for transparency, integrity, and accountability in our democracy. I am proud to have helped introduce H.R. 1, the For the People Act, because, in every corner of Illinois, I hear from folks who are frustrated about politics. They are frustrated with the secret and dark money that enters politics; they are frustrated by the self-dealing in Washington; and they are frustrated by the culture of corruption that rewards the powerful while the voices of hardworking Americans are drowned out. Our For the People Act will bring fundamental change to Washington. Our bill will end the dominance of big money in politics; it will ensure that elections are fair; and it will make sure Congress is working for the people instead of for themselves, banning Members from serving on corporate boards. Our For the People Act will make it easier to vote. Madam Speaker, the American people sent us here to clean up the mess in Washington. Today we are delivering on that promise. ____________________”
