campaign finance reform
Campaign finance reform refers to changes in the laws and regulations that govern how money is raised and spent in political campaigns. The goal is to reduce the influence of wealthy donors and special interest groups on elections, ensuring that all candidates have a fair chance to compete. This can include limits on contributions, transparency in funding sources, and public financing options.
Reform efforts often focus on increasing accountability and transparency, allowing voters to see who is funding campaigns. Key topics in this area include Super PACs, dark money, and the role of the Federal Election Commission in overseeing campaign finance laws.
