McCollum Responds to McCutcheon Decision

Washington, DC – In response to today’s decision by the Supreme Court in McCutcheon vs. FEC, Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-MN) released the following statement:

“Today’s decision is just the latest example of this Supreme Court politically empowering wealthy super-elites at the expense of a healthy democracy for the rest of America. Just as government policies that favor the wealthy lead to excessive income inequality, this court decision guarantees political inequality for tens of millions of American voters who only have their one vote, not millions of dollars to shape an election’s outcome. Granting the wealthiest donors the limitless opportunity to dominate our electoral process and drown out all other voices is corrosive and destructive to our democracy.”
