Some of the top asset managers in the U.S. on Wednesday joined hundreds of corporations, executives, and celebrities in releasing a statement in opposition to “any discriminatory legislation” that would restrict access to voting.
T. Rowe Price, Vanguard, and BlackRock all signed on to the statement, which said, “Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.”
Goldman Sachs, Bain, AIG, and Cambridge Associates also signed the statement, as well as private equity firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners and several venture capital firms. Capital Group CEO and Chairman Tim Armour also signed the statement, though his company was not a signatory. Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett was another signatory.
