Congressman Larson to Participate in a Live Interactive Online Town Hall about the Fair Elections Now Act
Washington, DC- Tomorrow at 6pm, U.S. Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01) will lead a live, interactive town hall to discuss his Fair Elections Now Act that will reduce the influence of big donors in the electoral process. Hosted by the Public Campaign Action Fund, the town hall will provide individuals an opportunity to hear first-hand from Congressman Larson about how the legislation will empower small donors and ensure that elections remain about the voters, and not special interests.
After the Supreme Court voted in favor of allowing big corporations and special interests to spend almost unlimited amounts of money in political elections, the need for reform in the electoral process has become even more important. The Fair Elections Now Act, sponsored by Congressman Larson, creates a voluntary system that allows candidates to spend their time meeting with constituents and working on the issues most important to their communities instead of dialing for big dollars.
This landmark bipartisan legislation currently has 135 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and the support of well respected national and local organizations.
