CHAIRMAN BRADY’S OPENING STATEMENT ON
FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT (H.R. 6116) MARK-UP
Washington, DC (September 23, 2010): Chairman Robert A. Brady issues the following remarks at today’s Committee mark-up of H.R. 6116 - The Federal Elections Now Act:
“Today we mark up H.R. 6116, the “Fair Elections Now Act,” sponsored by Rep. Larson of Connecticut. The Fair Elections Now Act is a voluntary program and would allow qualified House candidates to run for office utilizing a blend of contributions from small dollar donors and limited public matching funds. It is designed to change the current system of campaign fundraising which largely relies on large donors and special interests. It does not limit or discourage spending by outside groups, but instead aims to ensure that those voices are not the only ones that can get heard in public debate. It’s about encouraging more speech, not less.”
