A Message From Congressman Sarbanes
I am proud to be leading the charge in Congress to limit the influence of Big Money on politics and government and amplify the voices of everyday Americans. Whether it’s the economy, energy and the environment, gun safety, health care or any other critical issue, special interests and well-connected insiders too often call the shots in Washington. We need to return to a government of, by and for the people. That’s why I authored H.R. 1, the For the People Act, and will keep fighting to strengthen our democracy in every way possible.
