PENNSYLVANIA’S

MONEY IN POLITICS INDEX

93% of Pennsylvanians believe money has too much influence in politics.

We asked candidates running for state elections where they stand on getting money out of politics.

This page shows, side-by-side, how elected officials and candidates position themselves on three core anti-corruption reforms.

THE REFORMS

  • International vacations, sports tickets, dinners, lodging for public officials. Right now, gifts are corrupting, unlimited, and legal. Almost none of them are reported! A Gift Ban makes that illegal.

  • There are no limits to what rich people can contribute to a candidate’s campaign. Large campaign contributions influence, intimidate, and corrupt our elected officials.

  • Ban Super Pac spending by corporations, unions, and other organizations by using a strategy known as “The Montana Plan”.
