End Citizens United Endorses Denise Powell in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Denise Powell in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. Powell is part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program for candidates who reject corporate PAC money, support a ban on congressional stock trading, and work to end dark money in politics.

“Nebraskans know exactly what corruption costs them: corporations get more powerful, prices go up, and working families get left behind,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Denise Powell is running to change that — and she’s backing that up by refusing to take a dime of corporate PAC money. She'll fight to lower costs for Nebraska families, not to deliver profits for donors and special interests. We’re proud to endorse Denise and look forward to helping her win in November.”

“It's time to overturn Citizens United to get dark money out of politics once and for all,” said Denise Powell. “Nebraskans have lost faith in government and are tired of career politicians who are bought and paid for by special interests — that's why I haven’t taken any corporate PAC money. I'm honored to have ECU's support and look forward to working alongside them to make real change for our country — because we all deserve better.”

Denise Powell is running a campaign focused on delivering lower costs and reforming a corrupt system that only serves billionaires and wealthy interests. She is the founder of an organization that supports Nebraskans running for local office and advocates for public schools. Powell has also joined ECU’s Unrig Washington program, alongside more than 260 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics.
