LETTER: Billionaires lost, voters and democracy won in elections

To Ozaukee Press:

Congratulations to the American voters for saving our democracy. In Wisconsin alone, three billionaires provided most of the $42 million in campaign donations Tom Tiffany received and found out that people are fed up with billionaires buying our elections. In Texas, Elon Musk spent almost $500 million to elect sleazy politicians to no avail.

I hope our newly elected government will finally pass election financing reform. The money spent on these elections could be better used on bigger problems in our country. No child should go to bed hungry, no person should be without health insurance, no person here legally should be snatched off our streets and put in unsanitary warehouses.

We are the United States of America, once the envy of the world. Now we are a pariah. Hopefully with a new humane government we can get back to our standing of being the country we once were and will be again.
