“59 years after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, our nation is once again at an inflection point. The attacks on our freedoms and democracy continue to intensify,” DTV Action Fund Executive Director Brian Lemek said in a statement.
“We need members of Congress who will side with the Constitution and the rule of law, fight to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to vote in safe, accessible elections, and work to give people a voice in the system, not just wealthy and corporate interests. Our scorecard found that Congressman Rob Menendez is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of New Jerseyans and all Americans, and he has earned the top grade possible.”
The scorecard tracks the support of members of Congress for bills that ensure democracy works for everyone as well as whether they oppose destructive legislation that attacks the core rights and freedoms of American citizens.
“America, as a nation, cannot live up to its promise without accounting for and being responsive to every voice. I am dedicated to protecting the freedoms that define our nation and will always fight for strong voting rights for all Americans,” Menendez added.
“As our democracy faces existential threats, I’m grateful to be recognized by Defend The Vote Action Fund and for their leadership. We will continue to partner together to protect the right to vote and ensure free and fair elections.”
Rob owes his career to his crooked father and should resign so he can prove himself on a fair and level
Playing field
This is so dumb and not a news story unless HCV is Rob’s very own personal press agency. EVERY Democrat gets an A and an A- in these “grades.” See for yourself: https://wedefendthevote.org/scorecard/
