Rep. Mike Gallagher and a group of 17 House lawmakers launched the first-of-its kind, bipartisan Congressional Reformers Caucus. The founding members have pledged to work across the aisle to restore trust in democratic institutions. The caucus will focus on promoting transparency and disclosure, increasing participation in elections, reducing pay-to-play, strengthening enforcement of existing laws, and improving government integrity and accountability. Rep. Gallagher said: A key takeaway from my first year in Congress is that the problems we face as a nation do not need any more Washington D.C. solutions, they need some Wisconsin common sense. Calling for reforms might not make me popular with my colleagues, but I didnt run for Congress to be popularI ran to fix problems and thats why Im proud to launch the Congressional Reformers Caucus. Only by working together in a transparent manner will we renew the American peoples flagging trust in government. Since taking office last January, Rep. Gallagher has made decreasing the size and influence of the federal government, and restoring power back to the American people a top priority.
