The End Citizens United — Let America Vote Political Action Committee, based in Washington, D.C., announced its endorsement of U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, for Governor of Virginia on Wednesday.

“Congresswoman Spanberger is running for governor to put Virginia on the side of working families — not special interests,” said PAC President Tiffany Muller in a statement.

“She knows that our government, at all levels, can only truly work when everyone’s voices are heard, which is why she’s built a reputation for working to root out corruption and end big money’s corrosive impact in politics. We’re proud to endorse Spanberger and look forward to helping her win in 2025.”

Spanberger, in a statement, said she was proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United, an organization she said shares her conviction that government will never be truly representative of the people until everyone has an equal voice.

“In Congress, I’ve proudly stood up to special interests, worked to prevent corruption and strived to rebuild public faith in our institutions,” she said. ”As governor, I will always safeguard every Virginian’s access to the ballot box and fight for the issues that matter most to Virginia’s families and Virginia’s economy. Together, we will not only protect our democracy — but we will strengthen it.”

With her bipartisan TRUST in Congress Act, Spanberger led the effort to ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office. In her campaigns, she has never taken corporate PAC money, according to the release.

“End Citizens United is dedicated to combating the two biggest challenges facing our democracy: the corrosive impact of Big Money and attempts to block access to the ballot box,” the release stated.

“Since its founding in 2015, the group has had over 1 million donors and raised $200 million, with an average donation of just $14. The group has more than 4 million members nationwide.”
