Sen. Bayh Co-sponsors Fair Elections

Submitted by Monica Rober on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 21:36

Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) became the tenth Senate co-sponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act. Since announcing that he would not seek re-election, Sen. Bayh has been outspoken about the broken campaign finance system. Six national reform organizations joined Public Campaign in praising Sen. Bayh’s leadership in tackling the issue of special-interest money in politics.“America needs its elected representatives to turn their sights to our nation’s many challenges, and not be worried about the next fundraising opportunity or big donor to court. Sen. Bayh’s commitment to spend his final year in the Senate working to advance this legislation is critical as we work with other members of Congress to fix our broken political system.” Click here to read the full press release on Sen. Bayh.
