LARSON STATEMENT ON COURT RULING REGARDING CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

HARTFORD- U.S. Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01) issued this statement following the federal court decision striking down parts of the campaign finance reform law.

"Today's federal court decision is a difficult setback to a positive reform law which passed the House with a large majority due to the hard work of many Members of Congress. Although we will wait for the Supreme Court to take up the issue, this ruling is all the more reason to make campaign finance reform a priority of the Committee on House Administration."
