Rep. Susie Lee Helps Pass Historic For The People Act
March 8, 2019
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03) voted to pass H.R.1, For the People Act, a sweeping package of pro-democracy, and anti-corruption reforms that will put electoral power back in the hands of the American people.
Rep. Susie Lee released the following statement after the passing of the For the People Act:
"For too long, the majority of Americans have felt like they've been shut out of Washington. I hear that over and over again in my district. That's why the first piece of legislation I signed onto in my congressional career was H.R.1, For the People Act. I was elected to address the problems facing our community through common sense solutions, and that begins with cleaning up corruption in our government and making public servants actually serve the public again.
As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, I was proud that we introduced a bipartisan amendment that stops the flow of illicit foreign money into our elections. We need to make sure Washington represents all Americans, not just the wealthy few, special interests groups, and big corporations. This bill is the first step to getting us back to a government of, by, and for the people again
