14 years after Citizens United, Arizona leads the way, but our democracy demands more

I support constitutional reform through the For Our Freedom Amendment. The Amendment will allow states and Congress to set reasonable limits on campaign spending, restore checks and balances, and finally end the pay-to-play political system we are living through.

No ‘free speech’ moral high ground for groups’ opposition to Prop 211

I am an avid supporter of Proposition 211, the “Anti-Dark Money” disclosure Initiative approved by almost three-quarters of voters in last year’s election.
