Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“Kentucky voters deserve elections that are free from foreign influence, and today the Kentucky legislature delivered, making Kentucky the third state to ban foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns.
“For years, a loophole in federal law has left state ballot issues susceptible to citizens of foreign adversaries being able to affect our democratic process, which has been taken advantage of by Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss through his prolific giving to the Left-wing Sixteen Thirty Fund. Fortunately for Kentuckians, that ends today.”
