Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“Honest Elections Project Action applauds the Missouri Senate Local Government, Elections, and Pensions Committee for advancing gold-standard legislation to ban foreign funding in state ballot issue campaigns. Foreign nationals are already banned from giving money to candidates, and ballot measures should be no different. We urge the Senate to swiftly bring this to the floor to close the foreign campaign finance loophole in Missouri once and for all.”
