End Citizens United Endorses Stefany Shaheen in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Stefany Shaheen in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. As part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, Shaheen rejects corporate PAC money, supports a ban on congressional stock trading, and commits to helping get dark money out of elections.

 

“Corruption in government is at the root of Congress’ failure to deliver meaningful relief for New Hampshire families,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “While too many politicians cater to the biggest special interests, Stefany Shaheen is refusing to be part of that pay-to-play system. By rejecting corporate PAC money, she’s making clear that her vote isn’t for sale and her priorities won’t be dictated by big donors. We’re proud to endorse Stefany, and we look forward to helping her win in November.”

 

“Corporations have been hiking prices without facing any accountability, and it stems from corruption in Washington,” said Stefany Shaheen. “We need to get money out of politics so that Congress becomes accountable to the people, not to the corporations and billionaires. I’m committed to rooting out the influence of special interests so that we can finally start building an economy that works for working people. I’m proud to have the endorsement of End Citizens United in this fight.”

 

Stefany Shaheen is campaigning on holding corporations accountable and bringing down costs for everyday people. She is a lifelong advocate for effective medical care, from co-founding a small business that helps people access health resources to writing a bestselling book about her family’s experience with diabetes. She has also served on the Portsmouth City Council. Shaheen 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.
