Also, Rep. Andy Kim (D. NJ) picked up some big endorsements today in his bid to oust Menendez in the Democratic Primary:
End Citizens United (ECU) // Let America Vote (LAV) today endorsed Congressman Andy Kim for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey—his first national endorsement for U.S Senate. Congressman Kim, who has refused to take a dime of corporate PAC money throughout his time in Congress, is one of the fiercest champions in the democracy reform movement. Following the indictment of U.S. Senator Bob Menedez last Friday, ECU // LAV and Congressman Kim both called for him to immediately resign
“Since his first campaign, Congressman Andy Kim has been leading the fight to root out corruption and make government work for everyday New Jerseyans, not deep pocketed special interests,” said ECU // LAV President Tiffany Muller. “Now more than ever, in the face of galling allegations of rampant corruption, New Jerseyans deserve a Senator like Andy Kim who is guided by decency, not greed. Instead of using public office to line his pockets with gold and riches, Andy Kim has put the people in power and refused corporate PAC money. Once again, we’re proud to endorse Andy Kim and we’re excited to make sure he gets elected.”
“For the government to serve the people, policy can’t be decided by corporate PACs and dark money. I’m proud to have some of the strongest grassroots support in the country and to have never accepted a dime of corporate PAC money,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “I’ll always stand shoulder to shoulder with End Citizens United // Let America Vote in working to root out corruption, enact meaningful campaign finance reform, strengthen our ethics laws, and protect voting rights. Together we can restore trust and integrity in government, return power to the people, and strengthen our democracy.”
We need more and better Democrats in the U.S. Senate for sure. Click below to donate to Kim’s campaign and to the California Democratic Senate candidate of your choice:
