A strong democracy requires transparency and accountability to voters. Our Virginia General Assembly got a C- on this during the 2025 General Assembly by either not allowing key common sense campaign finance bills to get a vote or even heard. This is despite that they finally did pass the bill, introduced 12 years in a row, which restricts the personal use of campaign donations!!!!! Let's tell our legislators that we need comprehensive campaign finance bills passed, including limits, public financing of elections, dislcosure of dark money advertising, etc.

Currently Virginia is ranked 46 out of 50 states in the 2020 Coalition for Integrity's SWAMP Index which measures transparency and accountability to voters. Meanwhile, federally, 50 years of Supreme Court rulings, culminating in the 2010 Citizens United ruling, have unleashed a flood of money into our elections from corporations and special interests which has stifled the voice of average voters.

Let's all take easy action. How, you ask? We can send a message to our elected officials in Richmond.  Tell them that you are disappointed that campaign finance bills aren't being passed and that they should support reform bills that will be proposed in the 2026 session. We can also Delegates running for office in 2025 to fill in the Virginia Good Governance Scorecard which measures their commitment to issues related to voting rights, fair representation and accountability/transparency to voters.

Why is this letter-writing platform important? Your elected officials might not listen to just one or two of us alone, but together we are stronger. We need your voices!!
