LANSING, Mich. — U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D–MI) has cosponsored a bill that would forbid the use of corporate PACs in election campaigns.
We’re told Slotkin pledged not to accept funding from corporate PACs when she ran for Congress in 2018.
“Corporate money has flooded Michigan’s elections for too long, warping the political process and bending it to suit corporations’ narrow agendas – while drowning out the voices of everyday Michiganders,” says Slotkin. “This bill will serve as a shot across the bow for our system, and I will continue pushing Democratic Party leadership to bring it to the House Floor for a vote.”
A representative of Slotkin’s campaign says the congresswoman also supports proposed legislation to prohibit congressional lawmakers from trading stocks.
