The Freedom to Vote Act

Protecting Our Democracy. Empowering Every Voter.

The Freedom to Vote Act is a bold step toward strengthening our democracy by protecting every American’s right to vote, ending partisan gerrymandering, and curbing the influence of dark money and special interests in our elections. This legislation represents the most significant voting rights and anti-corruption reform in a generation.

Whether you voted for Joe Biden or Donald Trump, every American deserves to know their vote counts and their voice matters. By modernizing our election system and increasing transparency, the Freedom to Vote Act will help restore trust in our government and unlock real progress on the issues that impact our lives -like healthcare, the cost of living, and economic opportunity.

Expanding Access to the Ballot Box

No matter your zip code, voting should be safe, simple, and secure. The Freedom to Vote Act ensures fair access for all eligible Americans through commonsense reforms:

• Automatic and Same-Day Voter Registration: Streamlines registration so eligible voters can be added to the rolls automatically or register at the polls on Election Day.

• Early and Mail-In Voting Protections: Guarantees at least 15 consecutive days of early voting and sets nationwide standards for vote-by-mail access.

• Restoring Voting Rights: Gives people who have completed prison sentences for felony convictions the ability to vote in federal elections -because everyone deserves a second chance and a voice in our democracy.

• Inclusive Voting Access: Strengthens protections and access for people with disabilities, Native communities, military and overseas voters, and underserved communities facing barriers to the ballot.

Fighting Corruption & Putting Voters First

Our democracy should be powered by people -not billionaires or special interests. The Freedom to Vote Act includes real solutions to clean up our political system:

• Ends Partisan Gerrymandering: Requires fair, transparent redistricting standards to stop politicians from picking their voters.

• Shines a Light on Dark Money: Incorporates the DISCLOSE Act and Honest Ads Act to require political groups and online advertisers to disclose their major donors, just like TV and radio ads.

• Strengthens Campaign Finance Oversight: Gives the Federal Election Commission more power to enforce the rules and protect election integrity.

• Empowers Small Donors: Allows states to launch small-dollar public financing programs for House races -funded by penalties on tax fraud and corporate abuse, not taxpayers.

Securing Our Elections from Interference

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic. The Freedom to Vote Act includes strong safeguards to protect the vote from tampering or manipulation:

• Stops Partisan Election Subversion: Protects nonpartisan election officials from political pressure and interference.

• Upgrades Voting System Security: Requires states to use voter-verified paper ballots, conduct robust post-election audits, and meet cybersecurity standards for election infrastructure.

• Requires Transparency in Foreign Interference: Mandates that campaigns report any foreign offers of assistance -because protecting our democracy must come before politics.

The Freedom to Vote Act is how we ensure our democracy works for everyone -not just the wealthy, powerful, or well-connected. As your representative, I will fight to make this vital legislation a reality and defend every American’s freedom to vote.
