STATEMENT

We are small business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, and investors from across the United States, and we are writing to urge you to support the Freedom to Vote Act, a set of reforms for protecting and improving American democracy. The bill strengthens voting rights, enhances election security, prevents corruption in government, and increases transparency in political spending.
 
Rebuilding trust in elections is a critical step toward assuring voters that their votes will count and voices will be heard. Key reforms to democracy would ensure a government that reflects voters' vision to increase local investment, create good jobs, and foster equitable economies. Local business leaders understand what their communities need to achieve these goals.
 
Americans want a system that works for every voter. For far too long, barriers to voting have undercut the power and representation of Black, Latinx, AAPI, Native Americans and people with disabilities. As businesses committed to supporting the communities our employees live and work in, we urge Congress to take immediate action.
