Friend,
I want to thank the thousands of you who responded to our Priorities Survey last month -- and report back on the results. Three issues in particular stood out:
- Ending the influence of big money in politics
- Building an economy that works for working people
- Making voting easy and accessible
Many people rightly pointed out that these issues are deeply intertwined. Getting big money out of politics and making voting easier (and making sure everyone's vote counts!) are the best things we can do to make our economy work better for working people, address climate change, end the epidemic of gun violence...I could go on.
That’s why I always say: Whatever your top policy priority is, campaign finance should be number two. If we can solve that, we'll be well on our way to solving every other challenge we face.
If you responded to our survey, thank you. Every person's input makes our campaign -- and my ability to represent you in Congress -- that much stronger.
Let's keep the conversation going,
Dean
