John,
Dark money is flowing in to give power back to extremist Republicans.
Just look no further than Senate Republicans stopping a campaign finance
bill that would require political groups to disclose big donors.
That dark money goes into countless misleading attack ads smearing
DFA-endorsed candidates like Cheri Beasly, Mandela Barnes, and Stacey
Abrams.
We cannot continue to allow these groups to anonymously influence our
politics with an onslaught of secret money.
With the stroke of a pen, President Biden can issue a contractor
disclosure executive order which would shine a light on secret money in
politics by requiring contractors that receive over $1 million in federal
dollars to disclose their political spending. This would be the first
major blow to secret money in politics since the Citizens United ruling in
2010.

Americans deserve to know who is trying to influence them, and what they
want from the government but since the disastrous 2010 Citizens United
decision, dark money groups have spent billions buying elections.
This means that nearly our nation's wealthiest families and organizations
are effectively bankrolling our elections for personal gain.
States like California and Washington have already passed DISCLOSE Acts
that increase transparency and combat secret money. Now it's time for
President Biden to act since Senate Republicans won’t.

Thank you for combatting dark money.
