Clean Elections in America Act

Bill 117 HR 7270, also known as the Clean Elections in America Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the goal of reforming the campaign finance system in the country. The bill aims to reduce the influence of money in politics by establishing a public financing system for federal elections.

Under the Clean Elections in America Act, eligible candidates for federal office would have the option to receive public funding for their campaigns instead of relying on private donations. This public financing would be provided through a voluntary system that allows candidates to qualify for a set amount of funding based on meeting certain criteria, such as collecting a certain number of small-dollar donations from constituents.

The bill also includes provisions to increase transparency in campaign finance by requiring disclosure of all contributions and expenditures, as well as implementing stricter enforcement mechanisms to prevent violations of campaign finance laws. Additionally, the Clean Elections in America Act aims to promote voter participation by providing matching funds for small-dollar donations and increasing access to voting for all eligible citizens. Overall, the Clean Elections in America Act seeks to level the playing field in elections by reducing the influence of wealthy donors and special interests, and promoting a more fair and transparent electoral process.
