Members of Congress have the power to make decisions that impact all our lives. When they refuse to cooperate with independent investigators who are trying to root out ethical misconduct, it damages the public's trust and impedes accountability. campaignlegal.org/update/more-me…

I am in Ohio today where public opinion overwhelmingly favors legalized abortion. But the gerrymandered legislature is poised to criminalize abortion without exceptions, including for rape, incest and a woman’s life.

History was made today as Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in as the 116th Supreme Court justice. A former public defender and the first Black woman justice of #SCOTUS, she brings the Court closer to representing the diversity of the American people. npr.org/2022/06/30/110…

Voters have a right to know that public officials are working in their best interests. 10 years after the #STOCKAct was enacted, many members of Congress are not disclosing their stock trades on time (if at all). CLC's Kedric L. Payne explains the problem, & solutions. #CLCExplains

New: Campaign Legal Center complaint against WinRed, the Republican online fundraising platform that has processed nearly $3 billion in 3 years, while somehow reporting less than $3,000 in expenses. How does WinRed work? Who does it pay? No clue, folks. campaignlegal.org/update/one-lar…

Voters have a right to know that their elected officials are serving the public interest, not their own wallets. Kedric L. Payne, CLC's senior director of #ethics, explains what the #STOCKAct is & how proposed updates could curb insider trading by members of Congress. #CLCExplains

Today, I testified before the Board of Ethics about how the city’s elections are funded. Specifically, I talked about a way that super PACs are brazenly skirting campaign finance laws to coordinate with candidates: redboxing. Here’s how #redboxing undermines our democracy🧵

Did you know up to 18 million Americans with past convictions can vote RIGHT NOW – they just don’t know it – because the voting eligibility laws in every state can be confusing? Campaign Legal Center is here to help.

"What we've seen over the last decade is that it's really easy for wealthy individuals and corporations to spend a ton of money in elections while still concealing their identity," said Campaign Legal Center's @ErinChlopak. npr.org/2022/08/29/111…

Members of Congress can trade stocks with few restrictions--all while having privileged access to (and creating!) market-moving information. We need reform now. From The New York Times: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

This heartbreaking body cam footage shows further evidences that the people being prosecuted for illegal voting in Florida did not know that they were ineligible and therefore are not guilty of the charges against them. newsweek.com/desantis-voter…

The #SupremeCourt, one of America's most powerful institutions, has zero infrastructure in place to investigate ethics violations. #SCOTUS must create internal ethics standards and install compliance officials. More from Kedric L. Payne & Delaney Marsco. campaignlegal.org/update/where-h…

"But the question of what’s actually happening in the shadows transcends partisanship. And the closely divided House makes it all the more important to have an independent entity to investigate allegations of misconduct." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Hard to respect the integrity of a court that refuses to abide by even the barest minimum ethics requirements. Their rulings today/yesterday will help keep poor people poor & perpetuate discrimination, while the justices can accept $ and opportunities unavailable to anyone else.

The Ethics in Government Act (EIGA) was passed 45 years ago, but recent scandals make it clear that federal government ethics laws badly need reform. As CLC's Delaney Marsco shares in Newsweek Opinion, stronger rules and meaningful enforcement are vital. newsweek.com/ethics-governm…
