Dark money groups put more than $1.9 billion into the 2024 federal elections, a record. Groups backing both parties used it. A nonprofit gives to a super PAC, the super PAC runs the ad, and the voter never learns who paid.
The DISCLOSE Act, S.3991, would require any group spending more than $10,000 on elections to name donors who gave $10,000 or more. Video and online ads would have to list their top five funders. It limits no one's spending. It tells voters who is speaking. Only New York and Connecticut require these groups to name their political donors today, and 48 states do not.
The last Senate vote on this bill, in September 2022, failed 49-49.
Please cosponsor the DISCLOSE Act and vote for it when it reaches the floor.
