Mike Levin, Jason Crow, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Launch End Corruption Caucus Washington, D.C.— Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) launched the End Corruption Caucus alongside Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06). This new caucus will work to advance legislation, bring together like-minded partners, and aim to root out corruption in government, to restore the American people’s trust in their leaders. As part of the launch, Levin, Crow, and Ocasio-Cortez introduced a congressional resolution asking Congress to denounce corruption in all its forms and oppose the implementation of policies that benefit special interests and corrupt politicians at the expense of the American people. “At no other point in American history have we seen corruption so rampant in our politics. We have a president using the office to enrich himself, his family, and his friends. He has traded thousands of stocks in companies that benefit from his own policies and created a billion-dollar slush fund, paid for by taxpayers, to reward his allies,” said Congressman Levin. “The American people are the ones paying the price while the well-connected cash in. We must confront this corruption head-on, hold the powerful accountable, and ensure our government works for the people again.” “Corruption is poisoning our politics. From the disastrous Citizens United decision, to the President using his office to enrich himself and his family, our democracy is buckling under the influence of billionaire donors and special interests,” said Congressman Crow. “Corruption is why costs are so high, why the government feels unresponsive, and why the system seems to only benefit the wealthy and well-connected. We must take on corruption to lower prices, restore trust, and help working families.” “The influence of big money in politics is a major reason why everyday Americans struggle to trust our institutions and our work in Congress,” said Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. “That is why I am proud to co-chair the End Corruption Caucus, alongside Congressmen Jason Crow and Mike Levin, to remove dark money and special interests from our government, shut the lobbying revolving door, and enforce accountability in all branches of government. It is time that we put Americans first and earnestly work to restore the faith and integrity of our lawmaking.” As working-class Americans struggle to afford housing and put food on the table, President Trump has used his office to personally enrich himself and his family by at least $3.4 billion . Trump has also weaponized the federal government against his perceived political opponents and those that speak out in opposition to his policies. Trump stalled government investigations into Elon Musk’s companies ; weaponized the IRS against universities ; attacked the free press ; used the FCC to silence Jimmy Kimmel ; and more. He has taken a page out of the authoritarian playbook and wielded the Department of Justice to levy bogus criminal indictments against his personal and political enemies.
