Here's the way I see it:

The American people should have complete confidence that government officials are making decisions with only one factor in mind: the public interest.

Not their own pocketbooks. Not their future job prospects in the private sector. Not the wishes of big donors and giant corporations. The public interest .

So I’ve got a whole bunch of plans to root corruption out of Washington.

Some are more specific, like my Department of Defense Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act , which would limit the influence of contractors on the military, constrain foreign influence on retired senior military officers, and require greater transparency from contractors in their interactions with the Pentagon.

Or my Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act , which would strengthen ethical standards up and down our judiciary, impose an enforceable code of conduct on the Supreme Court, and ban federal judges from owning individual stock.

Or my Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act , which would require the president and vice president to disclose and divest from any potential financial conflicts of interest. That’s a standard that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have already cleared — and that all their successors should be held to. Especially after we saw Donald Trump run the most corrupt administration in modern history.

Or my bipartisan legislation to reform the Federal Reserve , which would bar big bank executives from serving on Reserve Bank boards of directors, subject directors to ethics and financial conflict of interest rules, and bring increased transparency and accountability to the Fed.

And then I’ve got my big plan: the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act . It’s the most sweeping set of reforms since Watergate. And it would fundamentally change the way Washington does business, including…

Banning all individual stock ownership by members of Congress, Cabinet secretaries, senior congressional staff, federal judges, White House staff, and other senior agency officials while in office.
Prohibiting all federal officials from holding or trading stock if its value might be influenced by their agency, department, or actions.
Tightening conflict of interest and recusal requirements.
Padlocking the revolving door between industry and government.
Creating a new, independent anti-corruption agency dedicated to enforcing federal ethics laws.
Expanding an independent and empowered Congressional ethics office.

All of these plans have two things in common. They’re about putting our government on the side of the people — not the powerful special interests. And they’re only possible if we grow and strengthen our grassroots movement. That’s how we beat Big Money.

I’m running for re-election so we can root corruption out of Washington, rebuild our middle class, and strengthen our democracy. But I can’t do it alone. If it makes sense for you right now, will you pitch in $20 or any amount to help build our campaign from the ground up? [[link removed]]

Every donation is another signal that the American people are demanding real change and calling for a country that works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.

I’m deeply grateful to fight by your side.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
