PRESS RELEASE

End Citizens United Endorses Beth Macy in Virginia’s 6th Congressional District

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Beth Macy in Virginia’s 6th Congressional District. As part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, Macy rejects corporate PAC money, supports a ban on congressional stock trading, and commits to helping get dark money out of elections.

 

"Washington corruption has a real cost, and Virginians are paying for it,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Congressman Cline has spent his time in Washington protecting billionaires and special interests while working families get squeezed and data centers take over their communities. Beth Macy is running to change that. She'll take on corporate greed, fight to lower costs, and stand up for Virginians who are tired of being ignored. We’re proud to be supporting Beth and look forward to helping her win in November.”

 

“Costs keep going up, and Congress has done nothing about it,” said Beth Macy. “Lowering the cost of living means cracking down on the corporations that are hiking prices on working people. I refuse to take corporate PAC money because I want Virginians to know that I will never be in the pocket of big special interests, and I will only answer to the people in this district. I’m proud to have the endorsement of End Citizens United and look forward to working with them to root out the corrosive influence of corporations and billionaires.”

 

Beth Macy worked as a reporter for 25 years, telling important stories across communities and holding power to account. She has published multiple books that detail the human impacts of corporate greed. Macy is part of Unrig Washington, joining more than 285 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics.
