Enact campaign finance reform to end corporate influence-buying

Corporate donations to political campaigns and inauguration funds raise ethical concerns about potential conflicts of interest and undue influence. The report details troubling facts - massive corporate donations from companies that later benefited from favorable policies, foreign companies exploiting loopholes, and wealthy donors receiving prestigious appointments. This pay-to-play dynamic erodes public trust when private interests appear to be prioritized over the public good. Robust transparency measures and stricter ethical guidelines are needed to prevent the perception or reality of corporations and mega-donors buying access and shaping government actions for their own benefit rather than that of the people. Our political system must put the integrity of our democracy and the interests of all citizens first.
