Democrats’ H.R. 1 Offers Boost for Accountability

This November, the American people went to the polls and resoundingly rejected the culture of corruption in Washington, D.C. A new Democratic-controlled House began Jan. 3, with the promise to clean up corruption and ensure public officials work for the people. To make good on this promise, Democrats introduced House Resolution 1, the For the People Act, focused on restoring accountability in government. The comprehensive reforms in this bill will do three important things: make voting easier, end dark money and ensure integrity of public officials.
