I’m about to head into the U.S. Senate Rules Committee to testify in support of the #ForThePeopleAct, #S1. This legislation will strengthen democracy for all Americans, regardless of political party. The livestream of the hearing should be available here:

The #ForThePeopleAct will crack down on political corruption in both parties, limit the influence donors have over politicians, prevent foreign money from coming into America's elections, strengthen ethics laws...

Many of these provisions have bipartisan origins, and this bill has broad bipartisan support among Americans. Historically, Republicans and Democrats have come together to confront challenges to our democracy. Now is the moment to do this again. #S1
