Finger-pointing won’t save Colorado Democrats from accountability. Voters deserve the truth about who paid for this trip — and whether lawmakers broke Colorado’s gift law. The single action of donating funds does not meet the moment of true public accountability.

That’s why we're calling on lawmakers to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act. It's time to ban stock trading for these elected officials — and end government insider trading for good.

President Trump’s push for mid-decade redistricting was all about power.
He tried to force new maps to tilt elections in his favor, and it backfired.
In the end, he gained nothing.

Indiana lawmakers put voters first, rejecting President Trump’s push for mid-cycle redistricting and affirming that our maps should serve the people—not political parties.
Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
