House Republicans chose special interests and mega-donors over the American people. “Our democracy is not for sale – we need more transparency, not less. House Republicans are once again cozying up to special interests and mega-donors by quietly pushing through protections for dark money groups,” said Congressman Crow. “Sunshine is the best disinfectant. My amendments would help put an end to corrupt influence, increase transparency, and restore public trust in government.” This effort is supported by End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund and Public Citizen. “Shamefully, Congressional Republicans have yet again sided with dark money, corporate influence and their billionaire backers over transparency, democracy and the American people,” said Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund. “We appreciate Representative Crow’s continued efforts to end dark money and show the American people who’s truly fighting for them.” “While Americans overwhelmingly support shining sunlight on corporate political spending, year-after-year some Congressmembers keep rewriting the rules to block that common-sense disclosure,” said Jon Golinger, Democracy Advocate at Public Citizen. “We strongly support Representative Crow's legislation to strike the secret money policy riders and bring corporate political spending out of the shadows and into the light.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
