There are many urgent crises that are critical for the White House to address. The integrity of our nation’s democracy needs to be among the first priorities.

This election, voters made it clear that they want to have their voices and powers restored by advancing bold change in our democratic systems.
Special interests spent $14 billion to influence the 2020 election, the most amount of money spent on an election in the history of the U.S. Instead of having special interests trying to buy our votes, we need to have elections that are clean, open and fair.
