Send Jim Lipinski to Montpelier to Protect our Democracy
Unless we can protect democracy, nothing else matters. Without a vigorous democracy, we can’t have meaningful discussions to solve our biggest challenges. It will be difficult to achieve people-first policies if our voices are drowned out by big-money in politics. Because this is foundational to everything else, it is my number one priority.

I will work to pass legislation that keeps our elections as the U.S. Constitution intended, matters for the states, free of federal intrusion.
Develop laws and regulations that put a firewall between big money and policy-makers – click to learn more
I will work to pass legislation that keeps reins in how money is able to disproportionately influence the legislative process.
