Darryl Glenn: Increased political participation is an important objective for a well-functioning democracy and donating to a political campaign is a tangible way for citizens to show support. Transparency is key to ensure accountability and I support legislation that requires disclosure of donors over a certain dollar threshold. This method of accountability enables donors to continue exercising their 1st Amendment right to free speech while allowing the public to see whose support each candidate is receiving
Bennet: cosponsored a constitutional amendment that would effectively overturn Citizens United and restore common-sense regulation to our campaign finance system. I've also long been a cosponsor of the DISCLOSE Act, legislation that would help bring transparency to political spending. And I've introduced legislation to prohibit solicitation of campaign contributions from lobbyists while Congress is in session, and eliminate lobbyist bundling.
