End Citizens United Congratulates Ohio Governor-Elect Amy Acton on Massive Win

End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement celebrating ECU-endorsed Governor-elect Amy Acton’s win:

“Congratulations to Governor-elect Amy Acton on being elected the first Democratic governor in Ohio in 15 years. She knows that Ohio families have been paying the price for a state government completely captured by special interests and lobbyists. That’s why one of her top priorities is rooting out corruption in Columbus and bringing down costs for working families. We’re looking forward to working with her to make sure everyone in Ohio is playing by the same rules.”

ECU endorsed Governor-elect Amy Acton. She made ethics reform a priority in her campaign, including launching an anti-corruption agenda during a roundtable with ECU President Tiffany Muller in August. Ohio’s recent $61 million energy company bribery scandal exposed how deeply pay-to-play politics has taken hold in the statehouse. Governor-elect Acton has promised to restore transparency and accountability in government while fighting for policies that protect Ohioans from corporate price gouging.
