Money In Politics

LWV Washington filed an amicus brief supporting Washington’s disclosure requirements for online political advertising

LWVUS joined a coalition of groups calling calls on presidential candidates to reveal their campaign “bundlers.” This letter follows up on a similar letter sent by this cross-partisan coalition in October. The letter was sent to all Democratic and Republican candidates as well as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. 

The League joined Issue One and other coalition partners on a letter sent to all presidential candidates encouraging them to publicly disclose information about campaign bundlers on a regular basis during the 2024 presidential election. 

Seattle, WA – Campaign Legal Center, joined by the League of Women Voters of Washington, Fix Democracy First and the Brennan Center for Justice, today filed an amicus brief in State of Washington v. Meta Platforms, Inc. supporting a Washington state law that advances voters’ right to know who is spending in their elections.

The League hopes to see members of the 118th Congress work together to ensure that voting rights are championed as a bipartisan effort in this country.   

The League of Women Voters urged all members of Congress to support this piece of legislation as a key step in fortifying our democracy. 

LWVUS joined a letter to the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee in support of the Office of Congressional Ethics.
