“I’m sure I speak for the entire National Governing Board when I say Craig Barnes stood for everything Common Cause has ever stood for, and stood proudly and loudly and eloquently. His voice never wavered in support of our democracy and the values on which it’s based, and again and again he put into words and deeds the aspirations all of us share. To everyone who had the privilege of working with him and knowing him, he was a bright and shining light of optimism and intelligence. His service and dedication to Common Cause was boundless.”
— Robert Reich, COMMON CAUSE National Governing Board Chair
