During my time in Congress, she has consistently and forcefully decried the outsized influence that money has in Washington. Those of us who have made this issue a key focus of our efforts in Congress know that Leader Pelosi is committed to empowering everyday Americans to take back their government from special interests. “We hear President-Elect Trump talking tough about ‘draining the swamp,’ but along with the Republican-controlled Congress and a legion of high-priced lobbyists, he is poised to unleash a torrent of policies that put special interests ahead of the interests of hardworking families. “It is Leader Pelosi and the Democratic Caucus that have actually proposed real reforms to protect our democracy. Safeguarding the ballot box, disclosing secret money, building small donor matching systems to fund campaigns, curbing the influence of Super PACs and ending partisan gerrymandering. On all of these issues, Democrats are leading the way.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
