Bysiewicz criticized the effects of "loopholes and incentives" for special interests and said that "This election is all about restoring a sense of balance to Washington."
Bysiewicz also said she would propose a bill to bring public financing to federal elections similar to the ones that apply to Connecticut's statewide races. She also pitched a plan to ban gifts and campaign contributions from lobbyists. "Wealthy people have enough advocates in Washington," Bysiewicz said. "That's what this primary is about. It's about who will stand up for the middle class."
