• "Citizens United" refers to a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that overturned campaign finance rules; now, corporations may finance independent campaign ads ("Citizens United" was a non-profit corporation which lobbied for conservative causes) with unlimited money. Recent legislation includes:

• Some in Congress want to fight Citizens United with a Constitutional Amendment that corporate political spending is not free speech; the Senate vote below addresses that aspect.

• Some in Congress want to counter-balance corporate spending with vouchers for small campaign contributions or more matching funds but with greater disclosure; opponents push back in the House vote below.

• A related campaign issue is about who gets to vote: we associate in our lists campaign finance with Voter ID laws. Supporters push for more voters (like they push for more donors); opponents push for requiring photo ID's to vote; this seems likely to become the next big aspect of this issue.

It takes 218 Congresspersons to pass campaign finance reform bills in the House of Representatives. It takes 60 Senators in the Senate (a super-majority is needed on this issue, to avoid filibusters).

The last major House bill, (Repeals Taxpayer Financing of Presidential Election), passed the House with 235 votes -- this bill would remove the tax form check-off of $3, which would reduce the public money available to presidential candidates.

The last major Senate bill, proposing a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United, was rejected in the Senate with 54 votes in the Senate (60 votes were needed; so 6 more votes needed to break filibuster).

You'll see below the names of everyone running, for whom we can predict their vote on this issue. They are organized alphabetically by State in one of the two lists below!

The PRO list are those running in 2014 who have supported limiting corporate campaigning.

The CON list are those running in 2014 who have opposed limiting corporate campaigning.

An interpretation key appears at the bottom.

Get your friends and family and friends on Facebook and Twitter and elsewhere to help elect 218 and 60 and campaign finance reform will pass!

How to interpret this page

• The list above includes candidates for Senate and House seats in 2014.
• All of the above ratings are based on multiple sources of information.
• The sources of information include legislative votes; bill sponsorships; group ratings; campaign websites; campaign debates; and biographical books.
• Each information source is rated as supporting the topic, or opposing the topic.
• The number of opposing sources is subtracted from the number of supporting sources; if the net sum is positive, the candidate counts as "Pro"; if negative, the candidate counts as "Con."
• Click on the candidate's name to see the list of information sources, and whether we rate is as supporting or opposing.
• Click on the date of each information source to see a full excerpt and context.
  
  Key for Pro votes:
• An aboslute YES vote: 5 or more net supporting information sources, indicating consistent and long-standing support
• A solid YES vote: 3 or 4 net supporting information sources, indicating substantive support
• A likely YES vote: 1 or 2 net supporting information sources, indicating some support but not enough for certitude.
• If a candidate has a net zero supporting information sources (or no information sources), that candidate is not listed above at all.
  
  Key for Con votes:
• An absolute NO vote: 5 or more net opposinginformation sources, indicating consistent and long-standing opposition
• A solid NO vote: 3 or 4 net opposing information sources, indicating substantive opposition
• A likely NO vote: 1 or 2 net opposing information sources, indicating some opposition but not enough for certitude.
  
  
  
• The above list is not fully inclusive; many House challengers are not included, but all House incumbents are eligibla.
• All major-party Senate candidates (and incumbents) are eligible; and most Senate challengers are, too.
• Some of the candidates listed above lost in the primary, but are still listed.
