Tim Walz Stands Up for Transparency
Demmer has consistently sided with corporate interests
Mankato, MN – State Representative Randy Demmer made it clear he would stand on the side Wall Street corporations as he called for the defeat of the DISCLOSE Act, legislation supported by millions of Americans to ensure transparency in US Elections following the Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United.
Tim Walz released the following statement:
Rep. Randy Demmer made it clear today he would stand on the side of Wall Street corporations that caused our economic collapse with their reckless decisions instead of standing up for southern Minnesotans.
Instead of standing up for the right of citizens to know who is spending money in elections, Rep. Demmer is standing up for corporate interests who want to keep that information secret. Instead of standing up for taxpayers, Rep. Demmer is standing up for big banks who want to use your taxpayer dollars they received in the bailout to influence elections and defeat those who are holding them accountable.
Instead of standing up for Americans, Rep. Demmer is standing up for the right of foreign companies to spend millions of dollars to influence U.S. elections without having to disclose that they are not an American company.
There are enough politicians standing up for special interests and Wall Street. I will continue to stand up for hard working Minnesotans. I believe we all have a right to know who is spending money in elections. I will continue to stand with southern Minnesotans and fight for openness and transparency in Washington.
