End Citizens United Endorses Leela Gray in Florida’s 13th Congressional District

ST. PETERSBURG, FL – End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed General Leela Gray in Florida’s 13th Congressional District. As part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, Gray rejects corporate PAC money, supports a ban on congressional stock trading, and commits to getting dark money out of elections.

“Leela Gray knows who is behind the rising cost of living: greedy corporations and the corrupt politicians who are beholden to their wealthy special interest donors ,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “That’s why she’s refusing to take corporate PAC money. She’s showing Floridians of all parties that her campaign can’t be bought and that she’ll always put their needs ahead of wealthy special interests. It’s time to kick out Anna Paulina Luna and elect a real leader who will always put people ahead of corporate profits. We’re proud to endorse Leela and look forward to helping her win.”

“Elections belong to the people, not to special interests and ultra-wealthy individuals,” said General Leela Gray. “I’m grateful for the endorsement of End Citizens United because the flood of money in politics is drowning out voters. Congress is too often focused on delivering for its donors, instead of lowering costs and supporting a functioning economy for working people. I’m ready to hold corporations accountable when they gouge the public and to crack down on the rampant corruption in our government.”

Leela Gray served for 30 years in uniform and later led advocacy efforts to empower veterans and local entrepreneurs throughout Tampa Bay. She is committed to rooting out corruption and building opportunity in Florida communities. Gray is part of Unrig Washington, joining more than 270 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics.
