I am writing to urge stronger legislative safeguards around the intersection of federal contracting, voter‑data operations, and private political influence. Recent concerns about initiatives such as VoteSafe. org highlight the need for clear, enforceable rules governing how voter‑related platforms collect, store, and use sensitive information. When any private individual or corporation—regardless of political affiliation—operates tools that touch electoral infrastructure, the potential for data misuse or undue influence increases. Protecting voter information and maintaining public trust must be a top priority. At the same time, federal contractors play an essential role in national projects, but they should not be permitted to engage in activities that could create real or perceived conflicts of interest in the democratic process. When companies receive substantial taxpayer funding, the public deserves confidence that those entities are held to the highest standards of neutrality and accountability. I urge you to consider legislation that: Establishes clear boundaries preventing federal contractors from operating voter‑data platforms or election‑adjacent digital tools. Strengthens oversight and transparency requirements for any entity receiving significant federal funding. Ensures that public resources are not used in ways that could compromise democratic institutions or public confidence. These steps would help reinforce the integrity of our electoral system and ensure that taxpayer dollars support work that aligns with democratic values.
