Rep. Stevens Cosponsors HR 1, the For the People Act

Press Release

Rep. Haley Stevens has cosponsored HR 1, the For the People Act, a top priority of House Democrats in the 117th Congress.

"I am hopeful that The For The People Act will revitalize our democracy by stopping the dominant influence of big money in politics, expanding voting rights, and strengthening ethics laws to combat the culture of corruption in Washington," said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. "After four years of corruption and blatant disregard for ethics laws in the Executive Branch and the horrific events on January 6th, this legislation is more important than ever before. Congress must ensure that every American has a say in our political system, which will go a long way toward restoring faith and trust in government."

The For the People Act will:

Create automatic voter registration across the country

Expand early and absentee voting and streamline the vote-by-mail process

Enhance and strengthen election security

Ban foreign money in American elections

Strengthen and expand disclosure requirements for political advertising

Bolster ethics laws across all branches of government

Congresswoman Stevens was a supporter of this legislation when it first passed the House in 2019.
