Washington, D.C. – Today, on the 15th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, Representative Maggie Goodlander released the following statement:
“For 15 years, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United has paved the way for big corporations and billionaires to seize unprecedented power in our democratic system. Citizens United tore down critical safeguards for our democracy, shifting the balance away from hardworking people and toward corporate interests. Our campaign finance system is broken and in desperate need of reform. Today and in the days ahead, I will continue fighting to ensure voters in New Hampshire and across the country have their voices heard and get a fair deal in our democratic system.”
Representative Goodlander has dedicated her life to serving New Hampshire and our country and is fighting every day to ensure every Granite Stater gets a fair deal. Before taking the oath of office to represent New Hampshire in the People’s House, she served in the U.S. Department of Justice where she took on corporate monopolies as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General, committed to the idea that no corporation is above the law.
