ActBlue Endorses Virginia Effort To Increase Transparency In Politics

The Virginia Legislature is considering a bill (HB 359) that would require campaigns to attribute contributions made to them via political action committees to the individual donor rather than the PAC.

The bill is primarily geared to two PACs, ActBlue and Red Storm.  ActBlue has long supported efforts to increase transparency in politics and is pleased to endorse HB359.

Earlier today Executive Director Jonathan Zucker told reporters:

We're very excited about this at ActBlue.  This is how things work at the federal level and in several other states, but Virginia's legal structures haven't permitted this kind of reporting until now.  We're thrilled to see Virginia moving in this direction. We thrive on transparency, and we know that politics does, too.
