On Jan. 30 Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-Rhinebeck) revealed a campaign finance reform bill requiring additional publicly available disclosures for lobbyists funding political ads or other political activities. Delgado's second legislative effort will be tucked in the H.R. 1 government reform bill. “We must take power away from special interests and put it into the hands of the people — and we can do that through shining a light on dark money and reducing the grip that lobbyists hold over elected officials,” Delgado said in a press release. “Linking lobbyist disclosures with campaign finance reports allows people to know who is influencing their elected officials and should help ensure that our elected officials are only beholden to their constituents.” Delgado's Clear Act would require election reports filed by political committees to clearly indicate when a contributor is a registered lobbyist; make registered lobbyists contributions clear in election reports; and require lobbyist disclosure reports to be linked on one website easily accessible to the public.
