In the face of a torrent of special-interest dark money, partisan gerrymandering and devious vote-suppression schemes, voters elected a House Democratic majority determined to bring real change to restore our democracy. We pledged to reduce the role of money in politics, to restore ethics and integrity to government, and to strengthen voting laws. 1: a bold reform package to restore the promise of our democracy — a government of, by and for the people. Wealthy special interests shouldn’t be able to buy more influence than the workers, consumers and families who should be our priority in Washington. That way, well-connected special interests won’t be able to steer the policy agenda away from the priorities of the American public.
