“Bipartisan Overhaul of Dysfunctional FEC Introduced by Representatives Kilmer and Renacci “

Release:

Today, Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-WA) and Rep. Jim Renacci (R-OH) introduced a bipartisan bill to overhaul the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and break the gridlock that has left the federal campaign finance watchdog incapable of performing many of its most important duties.  The Restoring Integrity to America’s Elections Act would reform an agency where enforcement actions and rulemakings have ground to a halt in recent years despite a spike in apparent violations and a pressing need to promulgate new rules in responses to Supreme Court decisions striking down a number of longstanding campaign finance laws.  Representatives Lou Barletta (R-PA) and John Carney (D-DE) are also original cosponsors of the bill.
