Voters have a right to know the financial interests of the people hoping to represent them in electoral office. When candidates fail to accurately and timely file their financial disclosure reports, they deprive voters of vital information. Campaign Legal Center (CLC) has filed ethics complaints to investigate eight U.S. Senate candidates in Michigan for failing to adequately disclose legally required information about their personal finances.
This is an opportunity for the Senate, which has a notoriously bad track record on ethics enforcement, to show the public that it cares about transparency.
On Thursday, February 29, at 3:00PM ET, in discussion with Campaign Legal Center President Trevor Potter, Professor Hasen will describe his vision for a constitutional amendment protecting the freedom to vote, its potential impact on our democracy and why he believes it’s possible to pass such an amendment, despite a challenging political climate.
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center is dedicated to advancing democracy through law at the federal, state and local levels, fighting for every American’s rights to responsive government and a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the democratic process.
