Now to the House

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 20:40

The Fair Elections Now Act has come to the House!  A companion bill to the Senate legislation to create a full public financing program for congressional elections has been introduced in the House by Reps. John Larson (D-CT) and Walter Jones Jr. (R-NC).  This bipartisan introduction represents a major step forward for our efforts to bring the Fair and Clean Elections programs that have worked so well in seven states and two cities to Congress.Reps. Larson and Jones are both from states where Clean Elections laws have been successfully implemented so have no doubt seen the benefits for candidates and voters alike when elections are about voters instead of big campaign donors.Read more about this exciting moment in the fight to thwart the influence of big money in Washington, D.C. here.
