The ability to freely participate in elections is the cornerstone of American democracy. But right now, dozens of states are passing legislation to make it more difficult to vote. Extremist politicians have conveniently sold the myth that voter fraud is widespread and stealing our elections. Trudy knows that our democracy is under attack right now, and we need bold leadership to keep our rights intact for future generations of Americans. Trudy will vote for and champion legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in the Senate. Trudy will also tirelessly work to fight back against anti-democratic bills that would make it harder to vote or that would disenfranchise groups of Americans. Trudy believes that voting should be as easy and accessible as possible to all eligible, and she will work to invest more resources into local elections offices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
