Rep. Davids Co-Sponsors Bill to Tackle Money in Politics, Fight Corruption, and Make Elections Fair

Statement

Date: Jan. 8, 2019
Location: Washington, DC

In the first bill she's supporting since being sworn in last week, Sharice Davids today announced her co-sponsorship of the For the People Act (H.R. 1), a sweeping package of reforms that will change the balance of power in Washington and put the American people back in charge of our democracy by ending the dominance of big money in politics, making it easier, not harder, to vote, and ensuring that public servants actually serve the public.

"Kansans trusted me to stop the influence of big money in our democracy and to end the culture of corruption in Washington," said Davids. "Those are foundational issues that impact every other issue I've talked about from health care to gun violence. That's why this bold set of reforms that will return us to government of, by and for the people is the very first bill I'm supporting."
