Since 2008, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has provided vital nonpartisan oversight and accountability in the House of Representatives. OCE is the only independent ethics investigative body in Congress, but its existence is not always guaranteed. That’s why CLC recently joined more than 25 organizations in urging Congress to make OCE permanent.
Voters have a right to know that their lawmakers will be held accountable for ethics violations. As we stated in the letter, OCE should not just be codified - it should be given the tools it needs to conduct the essential work it does.
Campaign finance law prohibits super PACs from coordinating their spending with campaigns. But a brazen practice known as redboxing flies in the face of this ban and threatens the integrity of our elections.
CLC’s state & local legal counsel Aaron McKean unpacks this anti-democratic tactic and how campaign finance agencies are taking action to regulate redboxing.
CLC is hiring for multiple positions in our Communications team and a Payroll Specialist. Washington, D.C.-based job seekers and remote applicants alike are encouraged to apply!
