SEE WHAT CANDIDATES SAID

We’re hoping to hear a robust debate tonight about candidates' solutions to the problems our democracy faces -- problems like voter suppression, partisan gerrymandering, and Big Money’s dominance in our politics.

That’s why Common Cause has asked every candidate running for president what their plan is for a better democracy -- and so far, we’ve gotten answers from Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke, and others.

We know that the best way to get more candidates on the record is for them to hear directly from voters like you. You can use our site to contact candidates today >>

Before tonight’s debate, see which candidates have committed to strengthening our democracy -- and which ones still have to go on the record >>

They’re running for the highest office in our country -- so we have a right to know what they’ll do to make sure our democracy represents all of us. And, we know from previous efforts like this that the most effective way to get the candidates to go on the record is hearing from voters like you.

Thanks for all you do,

Jesse Littlewood, Vice President for Campaigns
and the team at Common Cause
