Delegation of Republican State Legislators Travel to D.C. to Urge Congress to Support Constitutional Amendment on Money in Politics
Sep 29, 2026 · original
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 29, 2026) – Today nearly a dozen Republican state legislators from throughout the country, as well as several of their Democratic colleagues, are in Washington, D.C., to urge their members of Congress to support HJR 191 , the Constitutional Campaign Finance Reform Amendment, introduced in June by U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett (R-MI-7). The multi-state delegation is organized by American Promise , which has worked for over a decade to address the role of money in politics, advocating for a constitutional amendment that would allow states and Congress to set reasonable limits on campaign spending. Twenty-five state legislatures have now passed resolutions calling on Congress to support the amendment solution, including most recently Idaho, Oklahoma, and Utah. Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, who has been vocal on the issue in the past and will join the delegation in Washingt

A Supreme Court order could upend the price of political ads on TV. Here’s how From OpenSecrets: Ordinarily, Super PACs and other outside spending groups pay significantly higher rates than candidates for TV advertisements, as candidates are guaranteed the “lowest unit charge” in the weeks before an election. A new Supreme Court ruling, however, could allow outside money to access these steeply discounted rates. The Court has reinstated an FEC rule that allows joint fundraising committees (JFCs) to buy ads at the candidate rate, and a separate FEC ruling allows JFCs to include super PACs. The result is a loophole that could allow a Super PAC connected to a JFC to purchase ads at the candidate rate, multiplying the impact of the already unlimited amounts of money.

Millions of Dollars in Secret Spending Could Upend the 2026 Midterms From The New York Times: Analysis by The New York Times has found that more than $1 billion dollars in money from anonymous donors is being spent on the 2026 midterm elections. Known as “dark money,” it comes from organizations that are not required to disclose their donors. Because these organizations are not subject to many (if any) disclosure requirements, the $1 billion figure only represents part of the picture, which the NYT could track down from public advertising purchases and transfers to Super PACs. Other forms of spending, such as mail campaigns and hiring online influencers and door-knockers, are significantly harder to track. These “dark money” groups are dropping tens of millions of dollars on elections, with no indication where the money is coming from. With elections nearing, battleground Republicans sti

Campaign finance ballot measure passing by wide margin From Alaska Public Media: In 2021, a federal court ruled that Alaska’s $500 limit on individual campaign contributions was too low, leaving the state without a cap on campaign contributions. Now, voters have approved a ballot measure that would set the limit on individual contributions at $2000 per election cycle and $4000 for political groups, with an adjustment for inflation. The measure will take effect after the November election. Why super PACs are suddenly spending big on Alaska’s U.S. Senate underdogs From OpenSecrets: Super PACs in Alaska’s US Senate race have been spending large amounts of money on boosting underdog candidates who have little chance of winning, in an effort to undermine other candidates in the race. Rather than directly and openly spending to support their chosen candidate or attack their opponent, PACs will

Dark money, misleading claims flood Kansas ahead of judicial selection referendum From The Kansas Reflector: A ballot initiative in Kansas that would have made state Supreme Court Justices selected by popular vote saw more than $12 million in advertising, much of it funded from outside the state. The largest spender on the “vote yes” side received its funding from a Tennessee-based PAC with ties to Leonard Leo, the chairman of the board of directors of the Federalist Society. Kansas United for Impartial Courts, the largest spender in the race, which opposed the measure, received more than $4 million from the American Civil Liberties Union.

Citizens United provision allowing foreign campaign contributions draws Democratic bill From CNBC: A new bill, introduced by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), would bar U.S. companies from contributing to campaigns and ballot initiatives if they exceed certain thresholds for foreign ownership. Entities based outside of the US which are 50% owned by foreign nationals would be prohibited from making contributions, as would US-based entities that are 1% or more owned by a single foreign national.

Supreme Court strikes down limits on party spending in federal elections, backing Republican appeal From The Associated Press: The Supreme Court issued a ruling which overturned a federal campaign finance law that placed limits on how much political parties could spend in coordination with their candidates. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the coordination limits violate the First Amendment, opening the way for parties to make direct contributions to campaigns. Read American Promise’s statement on the ruling here . The incumbent cash advantage has disappeared in the tightest House races From OpenSecrets: Traditionally, incumbents have enjoyed a financial advantage over their challengers, as their status allows them to raise significantly more money than a less well-connected opponent. This year, however, that advantage has failed to materialize in several close House races. Not be

July 2, 2026 Leadership Quarterly - July 2026 Letter From Jeff Jeff Clements CEO of American Promise Your Quarterly Update Dear Friends, Thanks to your support and commitment, we have made significant progress toward the next amendment to the U.S. Constitution. U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett, a Republican from Michigan, has introduced H.J. Res. 191 , a constitutional amendment that would restore the ability of voters and our elected representatives to set reasonable rules around money in politics. This is a significant achievement and you can read the details in this Leadership Quarterly. In addition, in April, American Promise announced that Idaho is now the 25th state to pass a resolution urging Congress to put forth an amendment solution, following right on the heels of Oklahoma and Utah. I want to acknowledge the hard work of our states team, together with Director of Congressional Affairs Bo
American Promise on NRSC v. FEC: Americans Lose Ground as Courts Retain Control Over Money in Politics Rules

JUNE 30, 2026 — American Promise cofounder and CEO Jeff Clements issued the following statement in response to the decision by the United States Supreme Court in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission : “Whatever one thinks of the policy result in this case, the American people lost today because once again, federal judges, not the people or their chosen representatives, have decided the rules for money in our elections. The Supreme Court should not be micromanaging the nation’s campaign finance system. “Though this specific case raised a narrow legal question, there is something far more consequential at issue that Americans are increasingly asking: Why should the Court be deciding this question at all? Shouldn’t rules for money in politics be determined by us and our representatives, not dictated by nine judges serving lifetime appointments ? “This case

Ayotte signs law raising cap on anonymous campaign donations From The New Hampshire Bulletin: New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed a bill that will raise the threshold under which political donors in New Hampshire can remain anonymous. The limit was previously $150, but now donors giving less than $200 in aggregate to a single candidate in an election cycle do not have to be listed in the candidate’s campaign finance reports. Only 7 other states have $200 anonymity limits; according to the National Conference of State Legislators most states have limits from $100 to as low as $20. Nearly all the spending in this Maryland primary comes from two self-funding candidates From OpenSecrets: One of the most expensive House races in the country, the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 6th district, has almost entirely been funded by personal expenditures by the two candidates.
