Democratic Candidate joins more than 250 candidates committed to ending Citizens United

West Bend, WI  – July 13, 2026

Andy Beck, Candidate for Wisconsin’s 5th Congressional District, has committed to participating in Unrig Washington, a bold, public commitment to clean up Washington. The program supports real anti-corruption reforms and leading by example. Participants commit to:

  1. Ban Congressional stock trading by supporting legislation to prohibit Members of Congress from trading individual stocks. 
  2. Refuse corporate PAC money to send a clear message that elected officials’ priorities are the people, not powerful corporations or special interests.
  3. Crack down on dark money. Members will fight to end the flood of undisclosed political spending by supporting legislation to expose secret donors, increase transparency, and fix the FEC, ending the dominance of billionaire-funded special interest groups.  

“I’m proud to participate in Unrig Washington,” stated Beck. “ The people of Southeast Wisconsin deserve representation from someone who listens to them, not special interests. Everyday Wisconsinites deserve to have their voices heard in Congress and I’ll fight to make sure that happens.” 

Unrig Washington, an affiliated organization of End Citizens United movement, is not an endorsement from End Citizens United, rather, it is a distinction recognizing candidates like Andy Beck – Congress 5th District of WI who are committed to these key reform principles. 

Andy Beck’s platform for Wisconsin includes a strong position on Safeguarding our Democracy.  Beck has committed to:

  • Defend voting rights
  • End Gerrymandering
  • Protect Against Insurrection & Political Violence
  • Secure Our Elections
  • Strengthen Civic Engagement
