Co-sponsor the Abolish Super PACs Act, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Summer Lee. This bill would cap individual contributions to super PACs at $5,000 — effectively ending the era of unlimited corporate and billionaire money flooding our elections. We are sick of it, and this is the fix.
The numbers are staggering. During the 2021-2022 cycle alone, roughly 2,500 super PACs took in over $5 billion and spent nearly $2.7 billion to influence elections. That money buys access and outcomes. Rep. Lee is right that campaign finance is the foundational issue — nothing meaningful gets done on healthcare, climate, or gun violence as long as wealthy donors can spend without limit to protect their interests. Seventeen House members have already signed on. Add your name.
