Every American deserves a voice in our political system — not just the donor class. Your support fuels the citizen-led advocacy and grassroots efforts needed to make this lasting change possible. 👉 bit.ly/4fxDrAd

Over $400 million has been spent or reserved for ads in Ohio’s Senate race, including $325 million+ from outside groups. As voters choose their representatives, who sets the rules for money influencing our elections?

Million-dollar donors are pouring money into campaigns across the political spectrum, raising an old question: How much influence should the donor class have over our elections?

Utah has already called on Congress to restore states’ authority to address money in politics. This Constitution Day, it’s a reminder that the rules of our elections should be decided by voters and elected representatives.

9/11 changed the world—and my family. My son Joe felt called to serve. I felt pride & fear. We were fortunate—he came home from Iraq & Afghanistan. On this 25th anniversary, let's remember those we lost, who served & a generation whose lives were changed. nytimes.com/2026/09/10/us/th…

9/11 Led Them to Enlist. Here’s What They’re Saying Now.

Three veterans reflect on how that decision 25 years ago shaped them in complicated and unexpected ways.

Just 50 people have already contributed more than $1.6 billion to the 2026 midterm elections. This spending is legal — but should the donor class and elite interests have this much power to influence our elections?

I think Democrats are overly dismissive of the Republican grassroots anger at money in politics, and are missing the new moment to do something about Citizens United and Buckley. Tom Barrett, yes that Tom Barrett, introduced a bill a few months ago to overturn Buckley and Citizens United. Every swing district Republican should be asked if they support it becuase they are HEARING IT from their constituents.

In a conversation between @clementsjeff and @Mosheh, Jeff shared a powerful truth: the problem isn't just individual corruption — it's a system where power has become too concentrated. 📽️ bit.ly/3TCyeOo

Our elections should be decided by voters, not by whoever can spend the most money. Read more in @thehill about why Congress should pass my Constitutional Campaign Finance Reform Amendment. thehill.com/opinion/congress…

Why Republicans are joining the fight against money in politics

Long assumed to be an issue exclusively of the left, it is a top issue of concern among Republican voters.
