John,
In a new hard-hitting report, Issue One’s research team shines a light on a dangerous loophole in our nation’s campaign finance laws: shell companies are able to freely pump mystery money into our political system, and are even able to illegally channel funds into our elections from foreign nationals or governments.
Secret donors hide their contributions through limited liability companies (LLCs), which can keep loads of information hidden from Americans about the true identity of where money being spent to influence elections is coming from.
Our new report, “Mystery Money,”1 takes a deep dive into 12 LLCs and explains why this loophole needs to be closed so that foreigners are not able to use shell companies to funnel money into U.S. elections.
Donate today and support our research to unmask the donors behind shady shell companies!
As we know, foreign adversaries are interested in interfering in U.S. elections through whatever means they can. Like all problems we take on, there’s a solution.
The bipartisan Shell Company Abuse Act would make it a felony to set up, or assist in the creation of, a business that conceals political giving by foreigners. This is the kind of accountability and transparency we need in our elections. It’s only a matter of time before this glaring loophole is systematically abused by foreign influence-seekers.
Can you give $3 today to help fund our hard-hitting research and stop the spread of mystery money into our elections?
Your support matters,
Michael Beckel
Research Director, Issue One
