IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 23, 2017Mr. Nolan submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the need to create a small donor and
public finance system for Congressional elections.
1.
Providing for small donor and public financing of elections
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that, in order to eliminate the undue influence of money in politics—
(1) Congress should create a small donor and public finance system for Congressional elections, which will ensure that Congress is responsible to voters instead of well-financed special interests; and
(2) Members of Congress should devote their full time to regular order and governing instead of campaign fundraising.
