Casey Gains National Recognition for Being First Independent Candidate To Sign Change Congress Reform Pledge; Challenges Republican and Democrat Opponents to Join Her in Supporting Reforms
Independent Congressional Candidate Ashley Casey was recognized today by the national, grassroots organization Change Congress (www.change-congress.org) for her pledge to (1) Reject all donations from PACs or lobbyists (2) Vote to ban earmarks (3) Support total Congressional transparency.
"I signed the Change Congress pledge because I believe this should be a government of the people, not a government of special interests, and I want to send that message to the leaders on Capitol Hill," said Casey. "The people of Louisiana's 6th district have an extraordinary opportunity to send that same message on May 3rd." (More)
