Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, issued a statement today on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Here’s the full text:
“Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively rolls back decades of progress we have made towards ensuring the fairness of our elections. Giving corporate interests an outsized role in our process will only mean citizens get heard less. We must look at legislative ways to make sure the ledger is not tipped so far for corporate interests that citizens voices are drowned out.”
