From the Center for American Progress (http://www.americanprogress.org):
A new report from the Center for American Progress highlights the many ways voters and candidates alike focused the 2018 election cycle on the importance of combating corruption and fixing democracy.
A few key findings:
- The new rep-elects represent the diversity of the American people, not just the wealthy and the privileged, far more than ever before. This includes a projected 106 women in the House.
- 122 House candidates rejected corporate PAC donations entirely.
- Through 10/17, candidates in competitive districts who pledged to refuse corporate PAC money had already raised on average 110% more than what the winning candidate in their district raised in the 2014 midterms.
