Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“It was my privilege to give testimony today at a hearing in the Utah House Government Operations Committee advocating for a ban on foreign funding in state ballot measures. It is promising to see the lawmakers deliberating on legislation that prioritizes the voters of Utah and builds upon federal law that has long banned foreign nationals from donating to candidates and super PACs. It is our hope that the state of Utah will move forward and pass this legislation to rid foreign influence from ballot issues.”
