Honest Elections Project Action Applauds Ohio House Passage of Legislation Banning Foreign Funding of Ballot Issue Campaigns

Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:

“Ohio is leading the way to rid elections of foreign influence. Ballot issue campaigns should not be a backdoor for corrupting foreign influence in Ohio’s politics. Ohio has already seen a Washington, D.C. group, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, spend more than $14 million in funds tied to Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. Ohioans have had enough.

Anyone needing proof that foreign influence is corrosive to American democracy should look no further than the Democrat lawmakers and left-wing activists fighting to keep foreign money in Ohio. Congratulations to the Ohio House for passing this crucial measure.”
