End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed ER nurse Mitchell Berman in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. As part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, Berman rejects corporate PAC money, supports a ban on congressional stock trading, and commits to getting dark money out of elections.

“Wisconsinites have watched their bills go up every month while Congress does nothing to deliver relief,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Mitchell Berman has spent his career taking care of patients while career politicians like Bryan Steil maintain the status quo. That’s exactly why Mitchell won’t take a dime from corporate PACs. He’s proving to voters that he’ll never sell out or become part of the culture of corruption in Washington. We’re proud to endorse Mitchell and look forward to helping him flip this seat in November.”

“Corporations and billionaires have too much control over the policies that affect our lives,” said Mitchell Berman. “When big money fuels political campaigns, politicians are beholden to their donors instead of the people they represent. It’s time to root out corruption and build a government that actually works for working people. I’m grateful for the endorsement of End Citizens United and look forward to working with them to get money out of politics.”

Mitchell Berman has spent his career serving the community as a nurse, and for the past decade he has delivered care to veterans, servicemembers, and their family members. He has also been a member of multiple unions. Berman is part of Unrig Washington, joining more than 270 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics. Learn more here.
