Support the Accountability & Campaign Transparency (ACT) Plan, which would require more disclosure and reduce the influence of special interests in California politics.
Why is this important?
There's a lot that's great about being a public servant in California. But there's one thing about politics here (and frankly, nationwide) that needs to change -- and that's the influence of special interests. That's why I introduced this legislation (the ACT Plan) in the California State Senate. While my legislation is common sense, it faces stiff opposition from insiders who prefer the status quo.
My legislative package would:
- Require weekly contribution disclosures.
- Require overnight disclosure of advertising.
- Ban contributions to legislators in the final 100 days of a session, when hundreds of bills are voted on, reducing the influence of special interests.
- Restrict politicians to one campaign at a time, so someone can no longer get around regulation by cumulatively raising more from a contributor than contribution limits allow for a single campaign.
