Transparency

LWVUS joined a coalition of groups supporting the Coronavirus Oversight and Recovery Ethics Act (CORE Act).

The League submitted comments to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) with regards to the proposals being considered to add disclaimers to online advertisements.

LWVUS sent a letter to U.S. Senate offices encouraging Senators to cosponsor and pass S. 1989 the Honest Ads Act. Members of the LWVUS Lobby Corps will also be visiting offices on this topic.

The League opposed efforts to eviscerate the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).
