Washington Reform

Improving America requires that we improve the quality of our leadership. The era of closed-door favors to insider lobbyists must come to an end, but we cannot rely on those that are part of the culture of corruption to police themselves. To bring about such an end, change must come from the grassroots level.

When elected, Tim Walz will consistently vote to give the House ethics committee authority to investigate and indict members without the consent of party leadership. An ethics committee that is not entirely bipartisan or independent is simply a waste of taxpayer dollars. Additionally, Walz will vote to strengthen lobbyist registration rules, bar lobbyists from congressional chambers and ban all privately funded congressional trips.
