Defend The Vote Endorses Ehasz for House

Ashley Ehasz will protect our freedoms and democracy from MAGA extremism

Defend The Vote (DTV) today endorsed Ashley Ehasz for the House of Representatives for her commitment to protecting our freedoms and democracy from MAGA extremism.

“We need elected leaders who won’t turn a blind eye to the extremists who are attacking our freedoms and threatening our democracy,” DTV Executive Director Brian Lemek said. “Ashley understands the challenges facing families in Pennsylvania and has the courage to fight for them. She’ll protect the right to vote and ensure everyone’s voice is heard so that our democracy works for the people, not just MAGA extremists and corporate special interests.”

“I am proud to have earned Defend the Vote’s endorsement! As a combat veteran who fought to defend our freedoms abroad, I will always fight fiercely to protect our fundamental freedoms here at home, particularly as MAGA extremists threaten Americans’ right to participate in free and fair elections and cast their votes to make their voices heard,” Ehasz said.

Ehasz is committed to working in the House of Representatives on protecting and expanding the right to vote, ending dark money, and ensuring democracy works for everyone. She supports the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as well as funding for local election workers to run safe and accessible elections without threat of harassment or intimidation and to prevent the spread of misinformation. 

Defend The Vote has emerged as one of the nation’s leading and most influential pro-democracy organizations. It is dedicated to electing pro-voting rights candidates, up and down the ballot, who will preserve our democracy by fighting to safeguard free and fair elections, protect the right to vote, and increase voter access. Last cycle, DTV helped elect 55 pro-democracy House candidates and five Senate candidates.
