Issue Position: Campaign Finance Reform

Issue Position

Super PACs are running amok, and anonymous donors have too much control over our political system. Let's put the American people back in charge of elections. It's time to clean it up and get the government working for the people again.

Kentuckians are fed up with Washington and politicians that are out to help themselves and their cronies. It's clear that our campaign finance system is broken, and we need to elect new leadership to root out this rigged system.

The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United has opened the floodgates for billionaires and special interests to spend unlimited, untraceable money in America's elections. It is a cancer in our democracy that billionaires are using to tip the scales in their favor.

The voters deserve to know who is influencing their elected leaders, which is why Jim supports increased disclosure. Sunlight has always been the best disinfectant, and there's no good reason why political spending should be kept secret.
