Jim Gray on Government Reform 2004 former Libertarian challenger for Senate (CA)

Campaign finance system is broken; root it out

Kentuckians are fed up with Washington and politicians that are out to help themselves and their cronies. It's clear that our campaign finance system is broken, and we need to elect new leadership to root out this rigged system.

The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United has opened the floodgates for billionaires and special interests to spend unlimited, untraceable money in America's elections. It is a cancer in our democracy that billionaires are using to tip the scales in their favor.

The voters deserve to know who is influencing their elected leaders, which is why Jim supports increased disclosure. There's no good reason why political spending should be kept secret.
