John,
One year ago yesterday, the House of Representatives passed H.R.1 -- the For the People Act. This legislation would restore critical voting rights protections, make dark money groups disclose their donors, end partisan gerrymandering, and bring much-needed transparency to our electoral process.
So why did Congressman David Schweikert vote against it? It might have something to do with the fact that his political career has been funded by the special interest groups who stand to lose the most under H.R.1. These groups have spent and contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to help Schweikert -- and a coalition of them lobbied Congress aggressively last year in opposition to the bill.
Schweikert has long shown that he cares more about his corporate donors than his constituents. He's repeatedly voted to help big pharma and the insurance industry at the expense of Arizona families. And End Citizens United (a leading campaign finance reform group whose endorsement Hiral is proud to have) has named Schweikert one of their "Big Money 20" -- a list of incumbents whose donations and voting records represent the worst of Washington's rigged system.
Hiral is committed to fixing this rigged system and making sure politicians in our democracy are always held accountable. That's why she's pledged not to take a dime of corporate PAC money -- and run a truly grassroots-powered campaign. That means your support is essential if we're going to win.
Schweikert's special interest allies have already begun spending to re-elect him, and they'll only ramp up as Election Day approaches. So if you're ready for a representative who will put our democracy above corporate donors, please donate to Hiral today. We have an ambitious grassroots goal of $50,000 this month, and we won't reach it without you.
