Fight Dark Money

Dear Editor:

Dark money is a huge issue in politics today. It causes corruption throughout our government. It needs to be stopped, now. When shadowy outside groups use this route to influence Montana elections, they are taking away the public’s right to pick their representatives in a fair and transparent way.

During the current legislative session, Gov. Bullock and Sen. Duane Ankney are teaming up on a bill called Montana Disclosure Act to fight “dark money.” Dark money is spending on campaigns by groups that don’t publicly report donors or spending. This bill would make sure that we know who is spending money in our state’s elections.

Contact your legislator and tell them to stop dark money with the Montana Disclosure Act.
