End Citizens United Endorses Zach Dembo in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Zach Dembo for Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District. Dembo 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.

“Families in Kentucky’s sixth district are getting squeezed — and Zach Dembo will take on the people causing it,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Corporate interests have been calling the shots in Washington, driving up costs, and leaving working families behind. Zach Dembo is running to change that. He is rejecting corporate PAC money because he will answer to his constituents, not special interests. He’s ready to take on Big Money and bring new leadership to the sixth district because he knows how to fight for accountability. We’re proud to endorse him and look forward to helping him win in November.”

“I’m grateful for the endorsement of End Citizens United,” said Zach Dembo. “We are seeing more corruption than ever in the federal government, and working people are left paying for it. Corruption is just a greedy game that politicians play — it’s why groceries are getting more expensive and why families are getting kicked off their healthcare. I’m running to reform a system that has allowed the most powerful actors to profit at the expense of our communities, and I look forward to partnering with End Citizens United to make that happen.”

Zach Dembo has turned Kentucky’s sixth district into a competitive race by calling out Washington’s rampant corruption and championing an anti-corruption agenda. His career has been dedicated to helping working people as a lifelong public servant, most recently as a federal prosecutor, before he resigned in protest in the face of corruption he saw firsthand at the Department of Justice last year. Dembo 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.
