John, it's Sen. Angus King,

Free and fair elections are essential to America’s democratic process – and our founding principles. But recently, we’ve watched as states across the country work to restrict access to the ballot for partisan reasons – to maintain the status quo. That’s why I’m proud to join my colleague Sen. Jon Ossoff in co-sponsoring the historic Right to Vote Act.

The Right to Vote Act would be a historic federal law that enshrines the right to vote in federal elections. It also opens a legal avenue for U.S. citizens to challenge laws that make it harder to vote.

Protecting the right to vote has been one of my top priorities in the Senate, and the Right to Vote Act is just the most recent example. I’ve also:

• Introduced the Freedom to Vote Act to end partisan gerrymandering, take on dark money in our elections, and establish national standards for voting rights.
• Crafted a discussion draft to reform the Electoral Count Act after the 2020 election, which spurred discussions that led to the Electoral Count Modernization Act to formalize and clarify the process for certifying presidential elections.

As our democracy faces increased threats, from states restricting or reducing polling locations to politicians abusing their power to certify elections, we all must come together to protect our most fundamental right to self-governance. I’m going to keep fighting, but I need you with me, John. If you support my work in the Senate to pass stronger voting rights laws, will you chip in a donation of $10 today to my reelection campaign?

– Angus
