ICYMI: McConnell, Senate Republicans Call Out "Unacceptable" Elections Power Grab
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 7, 2021
Senate Agenda
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 13, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' S. 1 is a partisan effort to take over our elections: Partisan control of the FEC. Partisan rules for states. Public funds sent to partisan campaigns. There is nothing bipartisan about it. S. 1 would shatter confidence in our democracy."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 11, 2021

Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 11, 2021

Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 10, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' partisan power-grab "election reform" bill is not about voting rights. It's about letting Washington Democrats control the terms of political debate and all 50 states' election laws. Republicans will expose this attempted D.C. takeover in tomorrow's hearing."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 22, 2021
Elections
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 14, 2021
Tweet - "H.R.1 isn't about justice, equality, or responding to recent state laws. It's a recycled recipe for a massive Democrat takeover that they've been pushing under changing justifications for multiple years. Read the bill."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 14, 2021
The for the People Act
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 5, 2021

Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 12, 2021
