The Senate failed to move forward on competing health-care proposals before expanded ACA subsidies expire. With deadlines approaching, the stakes are high for millions of Americans.

We honor the legacy of President Jimmy Carter, a founding member of Vote Smart and a devoted servant to peace. From humble beginnings as a peanut farmer and Georgia governor, he rose to guide our nation as its 39th president. President Carter's dedication to democracy earned him the Nobel Peace Prize and the admiration of many around the world. His body lay in repose before being taken to Washington, D.C., where he now lies in state at the Capitol Rotunda. Join us in paying tribute as we prepare for his funeral on January 9 at the Washington National Cathedral, where VP Harris will deliver the eulogy.

We mourn the loss of Congressman Jim Leach, a founding board member of Vote Smart. Renowned for his remarkable tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, Jim was a steadfast advocate for ethics and transparency in government. His bipartisan approach not only shaped legislation but also set a standard for civic discourse and mutual respect across the aisle. As a leader, he championed campaign finance reform and tirelessly worked towards fostering international understanding and peace. His profound commitment to public service and his visionary leadership helped lay the groundwork for Vote Smart’s mission to provide factual, unbiased information to voters. Jim’s legacy is ingrained in our values and continues to inspire our work. His life reminds us of the impact thoughtful, principled leadership can have on our community and country. Our thoughts are with his family during this time of loss. His enduring influence will forever be a pillar of our organization. #jimleach #congressmanleach #votesmart Statement from our President, Kyle Dell, on Congressman Leach. docs.google.com/document/d/1HE…

Today is former President Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday! President Carter is a well-known humanitarian, but not many know that he was also one of Vote Smart’s founding political leaders who believed in the need for trusted political tools so that American democracy could thrive on facts, not lies and manipulation.
