Join us to hear from Congressman John Sarbanes how this bill will expand voting rights, change campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics, limit partisan gerrymandering, and create new ethics rules for federal officeholders.
RSVP here.

Maryland Congressman John Sarbanes will likely make his most significant mark on history if his massive voting rights bill becomes law. The U.S. House has twice passed HR 1, the For the People Act. This anti-corruption and voting rights reform bill remains the Democrats’ top legislative priority, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate.

HR 1 is an omnibus reform package that would combat voter suppression; end partisan gerrymandering; increase the power of small donors; impose new ethics requirements on Congress, the Supreme Court, and the President; and help secure the very endurance of our American democracy.

Mr. Sarbanes, a lifelong Marylander, represents Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District. He serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where he is the Vice Chair of the House Subcommittee on Health, and a member of the House Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change. He also sits on the House Committee on Oversight and its Government Operations subcommittee. He has worked tirelessly to bring Covid relief to Maryland families during the current crisis.
