BEFORE VS. AFTER

Before
  • Secret-source dark money floods every race.
  • Voters remain blind to the real agendas behind ads.
  • Legitimate, grassroots candidates can’t compete on a level playing field.
  • Winners are the ones who take hidden money—and advance those covert agendas.
  • Fact: Anonymous dark-money donors “win” about 90 % of elections.
After
  • Every dollar spent must trace back to a real human—no more shell groups.
  • Hidden billionaires and secret agendas vanish from the political process.
  • Voters see exactly who’s funding which message.
  • Grassroots candidates finally get a fair shot at winning.
  • Elections return to “people power,” not Dark Money rule.
WHAT COMES NEXT

After Phase 1 reforms are complete, these reforms and tools will reinforce the firewall against Dark Money.
