ECU Congratulates No Corporate PAC Candidate Peggy Flanagan on Senate Win in Minnesota

End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement celebrating ECU-endorsed Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan’s victory in Minnesota:

“Congratulations to Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan for showing the true power of the many over the money in this race. She put the fight against corruption front-and-center throughout her campaign, and voters rewarded that message because they know that the corruption in Washington is hurting them every day. She’ll be accountable to the people because she refused corporate PAC money throughout this race and joined the Unrig Washington reform agenda with over 300 Democrats. Senator-elect Flanagan is going to be a leading voice for reform in Congress, and we look forward to partnering with her in that fight.”

ECU endorsed Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan and hosted a town hall with her earlier this year to discuss how to get Big Money out of politics. She also joined Unrig Washington alongside more than 300 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics.
