    For too long, politicians have taken money from special interests & worked for them in Washington instead of the people they represent. I’m pledging to take action to end the influence of special interests – which starts with my Reform Agenda. #mepoliticshttps://bit.ly/2QWDZUp

        First and foremost, we must overturn the Supreme Court's decision on Citizens United in order to stop corporations and special interests from spending unlimited amounts of money in our elections. #EndCitizensUnitedpic.twitter.com/esiWItPD52

        We also have to crack down on secret spending by dark money groups. That’s why I support passing the DISCLOSE Act – which Senator Collins voted against – to require these groups to disclose their donors when they’re using funds to influence elections.pic.twitter.com/SRfcEk9ds2

        Congress routinely fails to pass budgets on time. If members of Congress can’t do their job, they shouldn’t get paid – period. That’s why my plan also includes passing “No Budget, No Pay” legislation.pic.twitter.com/B6eOy1oN7z

        Our elected officials should be accountable to the people they’re elected to represent, not big corporations. That’s why I’m not accepting any money from corporate PACs in my campaign, and I won’t as a U.S. Senator.

        Lobbying is the most common profession for Senators & Representatives after they leave office, which gives corporations and special interests even more influence. I’m proposing we put an end to the revolving door by banning former members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists.pic.twitter.com/lTKAJbXnp2

        Lawmakers and staff in Washington frequently skirt the rules to rub elbows with powerful lobbyists. No one should be evading ethics rules to attend lavish receptions held to sway elected officials – in the Senate, I’ll refuse any gifts or meals from lobbyists.pic.twitter.com/ZBgOsRqyPc

        Lobbyists and special interests also pay for trips for members of Congress. In the Senate, I’ll refuse trips paid for by special interests.pic.twitter.com/V23qCoFac5

        My Reform Agenda would be the biggest campaign finance and reform package adopted in Congress in over a decade — and I believe it’s what we need right now. I’m running to stand up to special interests once and for all.https://medium.com/@SaraGideon/making-washington-work-for-mainers-sara-gideons-reform-agenda-a0c3ff4d043e …

        Yup, this is my concern. I read this yesterday. @SaraGideon you're going to need to answer to this. I also noticed on your website that you're using terms like 'affordable' & 'access' regarding healthcare. I'm really hoping you will fight for Bernie's #MedicareForAll
