Earlier this week, Katie released her sweeping anti-corruption plan, also titled “Shake Up the Senate.” She calls for eliminating corporate PAC donations, banning lobbyists from contributing to political candidates, and ending wasteful pet project funding by politicians, known as earmarks. Katie is the only candidate in the race who’s never taken corporate PAC contributions and the only candidate who refuses federal lobbyists’ contributions. She was the only Democrat in the House to oppose the return of earmarks, which invite corruption. You can read the plan here.
