Corruption in Washington drives up costs across the board. When elected officials are allowed to trade stocks, move freely between government and lobbying jobs, or rely on corporate PAC money, policies tilt toward insiders — and families pay the price.
Corruption doesn’t fix itself. It only ends when leaders are willing to stop seeking perks and exploiting loopholes, and leaning on excuses.
These are Cammie’s commitments to NJ-11:
- No stock or crypto trading or for-profit lobbying by Cammie or anyone in her family. And in Congress, Cammie will fight for a ban on stock and crypto trading for Members of Congress and senior White House officials. Public service should never be a vehicle for private profit, full stop.
- No corporate PAC money — ever. Cammie does not take donations from corporate PACs, and Cammie urges Democrats at every level to reject them as well.
- Full transparency of meetings with corporate executives and CEOs. If powerful interests want to make their case, the public deserves to know when and how.
- End the revolving door between public office and private gain through a binding ethics pledge barring me from lobbying or profiting off my government service after leaving office. Cammie will champion a mandatory two-year cooling-off period before any Member of Congress can lobby or advise on federal policy — and an end to shadow lobbying disguised as “consulting.”
- Mandatory transparency for all lobbyists, consultants, and advisors. If you’re selling access or influence, the public should know it.
- Fix the damage of Citizens United. Cammie will champion legislation to limit corporate money in politics, ban super PACs, cap campaign fundraising, and make elections publicly funded.
- No support from shadow PACs or dark-money groups — and no winking acceptance of their help. Cammie will never solicit, encourage, signal to, or rely on outside groups spending unlimited money to influence elections in NJ-11. Voters deserve to know who is trying to buy influence — especially when that money comes from the most politically toxic industries in America: private prisons and immigration detention; healthcare profiteers like drug companies and insurers; social media, crypto, and big tech companies; and private equity and other players who raise costs for families while gaming the system behind closed doors. If someone can’t win without secretive ad blitzes funded by billionaires and powerful corporate donors, then they don’t deserve the job.
