End Citizens United (ECU), one of the nation’s leading anti-corruption organizations, endorsed Congressman George Whitesides for reelection in California’s 27th Congressional District. 

“As corruption runs rampant in Washington, we need strong leaders who will stand up to fight for the people—and that’s Congressman George Whitesides,” said ECU President Tiffany Muller. “He knows Congress cannot make real change as long as self-enriching politicians are putting their profits over the people they are entrusted to represent, which is why he’s leading the fight to ensure members of Congress cannot use their office for personal gain. We’re excited to endorse him for reelection and look forward to helping him win.”

 “Our democracy will only be truly inclusive once everyone’s voices are heard, which is impossible to do with dark money groups drowning out everyday citizens,” said Congressman George Whitesides. “I believe members of Congress should be held to the highest ethical standards — which is why I’m leading the fight to ban insider stock trading, require members to divest from individual company holdings, and restore public trust in government. It’s time to center working California families in our politics and ensure our government actually works for everyone. I am proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United and look forward to continuing to work together to strengthen our democracy.”
