Issue Position

By: Jeff Van Drew

Date: Jan. 1, 2013

Issues: Legislative Branch Elections

Jeff, Nelson and Bob are neighbors, community leaders, small business owners, and Veterans--not career politicians. That's why they support legislation that prohibits politicians from accepting gifts from lobbyists. Working together, they are advocating for tougher election laws to keep corruption out of our state government.
