Rep. Stevens Votes for HR 1, the For the People Act

Press Release

Tonight, Rep. Haley Stevens voted for HR 1, the For the People Act, a top priority of House Democrats in the 117th Congress which passed in the House and will soon be sent to the Senate.

"I am hopeful that The For The People Act will revitalize our democracy by combatting 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 and is a cosponsor.
