Political Quotes

“I rise today in support of overturning the Treasury Department's rule that will allow even more dark money into our political process. This action by the Trump administration allows groups to hide the identities of their donors. It allows big corporations and wealthy individuals to inappropriately influence elections by contributing to outside groups in secret.

We need to reform our campaign finance system, improve disclosures and transparency, and restore the voice of the people in the democratic process. Michigan voters deserve to know who is behind the money being spent in our elections. We must take steps to improve transparency and restore trust in our electoral system. Above all, we must ensure that every American has an equal say in our elections, regardless of their means. The right of every citizen to make their voice heard at the ballot box is the very foundation of our democracy. I will continue to fight to ensure that the voices of Michigan families aren't being drowned out by big corporations or wealthy individuals with limitless resources who are trying to buy elections and the outcomes.…”
