Creating Transparency in Our Local Elections

Creating Transparency in Our Local Elections

Political Action Committees (PACs) are often used as a way for individuals and organizations to donate large sums of money to candidates while hiding their true interests and donors.

In the last election cycle, across Sussex County, we saw a group called Preserve Sussex. From the name, you’d think they stand for responsible growth or protecting our natural heritage and farmland. 🌿 But surprisingly, their major donors were developers — some of whom have a track record of abusing the rights of our residents right here in our district. 🏘️

That’s why I am introducing a bill that will require real transparency for PAC donations. Under this bill, any time a PAC sends out campaign material, they’ll have to include a public website that clearly lists all of their donors and donation amounts.

This means that when you receive a political mailer or see an ad, you’ll be able to immediately see who’s really funding it. No more waiting months to find out the truth. 💡

✅ Equal reporting rules for PACs and individual donors.

✅ Real access to financial transparency.

✅ Empowering voters with the facts.

It’s time to hold these PACs accountable. True transparency ensures that no one can hide their intentions in our local races. 🗳️#Transparency#Accountability#Delaware
