This week, in partnership with Senator Whitehouse, I introduced the DISCLOSE Act, legislation to end the scourge of dark money, shine a bright light of transparency on political spending, and make government more accountable to the will of voters. 

Dark money is rotting our political system from the inside out. Great economic power should not translate into outsized political power, but thanks to the decision in Citizens United and ensuing regulations, that is now the case. We cannot combat the power of corporate special interests in our political system until we get secret corporate spending out of our elections.

More than 150 of our colleagues in the House and Senate agree that it’s time to pass the DISCLOSE Act and end the corrupting influence of dark money in our politics. I’m proud to once again join Senator Whitehouse in introducing this legislation.
