This one is personal for me because I am running a 100% grassroots campaign with zero PAC money. When someone asks me about transparency in political donations, I am not just answering a policy question. I am living it.
Every dollar that influences a federal election should have a name attached to it. Period. That means Super-PACs, dark money nonprofits, shell organizations, and all of it. If you are spending money to shape who represents the American people, the American people have a right to know who you are.
The legislation I'll fight for
- Close the dark money loophole that lets 501(c)(4) organizations funnel unlimited cash into elections without disclosing their donors.
- Extend disclosure requirements that already apply to direct campaign contributions to every outside group spending money to influence federal races.
- Real-time digital disclosure. Not quarterly. Not after the election. Real time. Voters deserve to know who is funding the ads they are seeing before they cast their ballot, not six months later when it does not matter anymore.
The reason our democracy has a trust problem is that people feel like the money runs the show and the votes are just for show. I believe the opposite. My actions will mirror your voices, not the voices of anonymous donors writing seven-figure checks to a Super-PAC.
When did a person's message become outweighed by a person's money and connections?
This campaign runs on individual neighbors, $10, $25, $100 at a time. No corporate PACs. No dark money. Just people.
