Advancing Democracy

This unanimous Utah Supreme Court decision upholds the will of the people. We look to the future with hope.

Campaign finance plays a central role in the democratic process. Elections can’t happen without campaigns, and campaigns costs money.

Americans of diverse political ideologies support campaign finance reforms. Small acts of advocacy can go a long way in encouraging change.

Good policy reform can help create a campaign finance system that is more transparent and accountable to voters.

Because of insufficient transparency requirements and the rise of dark money, we don’t always know who is paying for political ads.

Administrative agencies are a powerful but underappreciated component of federal, state, and local government.

MWEG began advocating for an update to the Electoral Count Act in July 2021 and continued working on this until it passed in Dec. 2022.

The Electoral Count Act should be updated to provide clarity and security to the process. This should be a bipartisan priority.

Independent, nonpartisan redistricting commissions represent one way to create fair districting through a transparent and neutral process.

The Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887 sets out the process of casting and counting electoral votes after a presidential election.

In this difficult moment, we reaffirm our commitment to the core principles of democracy, including representation, equality, and freedom.

Contact your senators to tell them you support the creation of a bipartisan commission tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

We expect accountability from the former president just as from the individual citizens who stormed the Capitol.

Contact your members of Congress to let them know the attack on our elections must stop and the Electoral College votes must be counted.

Our members of Congress must support the democratic process and the will of the people by acknowledging Biden as the president-elect.
