Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“It was a privilege to provide testimony today at a hearing in the Kansas House Committee on Elections urging lawmakers to pass HB 2106 to ban the foreign funding of state ballot issue campaigns. In recent years, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a prominent left-wing dark money group that has received hundreds of millions of dollars from Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, has funneled $1.6 million into ballot issue campaigns in Kansas, letting foreign money and interests impact the will of the citizens of the Sunflower State. We commend the lawmakers in Kansas who are looking to close this loophole and secure elections in their state.”
