End Citizens United Warns of Grave Threat to Democracy as Supreme Court Kicks Off Oral Arguments in Landmark Campaign Finance Case
WASHINGTON, DC — End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement ahead of oral arguments on Tuesday in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, a GOP-backed effort to challenge limits on coordinated spending between political parties and candidates:
“This is the most consequential challenge to campaign finance law since Citizens United gave rise to super PACs and unleashed a torrent of unlimited corporate spending in our elections. That disastrous ruling upended our nation’s political system by essentially legalizing bribery and drowning out the voices of working people. Now, Republicans want to give billionaire donors and corporate interests even more power over our elections so they can continue enriching themselves at everyone else’s expense.
“For more than 50 years, the coordinated campaign spending limits at the heart of NRSC v. FEC have played a critical role in protecting the integrity of our elections. They have been upheld by the Supreme Court and defended by administrations of both parties. Striking them down would be a huge mistake with far-reaching consequences, not only for our democracy but also for the day-to-day lives of working Americans who are already struggling to stay afloat in a system stacked against them. The Supreme Court must not repeat the failures of Citizens United and should uphold these commonsense limits on election spending.”
ECU President Tiffany Muller, a leading national expert on campaign finance law, is available for interviews to discuss the case and its broader implications for our elections. To request an interview, please contact Kolby Lee (kolbylee@endcitizensunited.org).
