Election Infrastructure Initiative Vows to Keep Fighting

Thank you for supporting the Election Infrastructure Initiative. Together, we captured the attention of Congress. Unfortunately, the Senate neglected to invest in local election infrastructure in their $3.5 Trillion budget.

While we fell short this week, we are grateful for our champions, in particular Senator Klobuchar and Leader Hoyer, who showed they understand the challenges and needs of local election departments. Over the last year, we’ve heard from election officials doing heroic work to keep our elections safe, inclusive, and secure all while working with crumbling infrastructure -- voting machines older than the first iPhone and some who don’t even have money for internet service or ‘vote here’ signs. 

We will redouble our efforts to make the case for robust federal funding of local election administration to ensure everyone can hold safe, secure and accessible elections in 2022 and beyond.

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to engaging with you in the next phase of our initiative. 

Onward,

Tiana Epps-Johnson
