Stand With Virginians for Good Governance: Let's End the Corruption of Big Money
Our Elected Officials in the Virginia General Assembly.
Join Us to Demand Campaign Finance Reform in Virginia. We believe the time has come for comprehensive campaign finance reform in Virginia — and we need your voice to help make it happen.
The 2025 General Assembly continued three decades of failure to pass common-sense campaign finance laws, even though Virginia has some of the weakest regulations in the country. In fact, a 2021 poll showed that nearly 80% of Virginia voters — across party lines — believe big money donors have too much influence over our elections.
Legislators can’t ignore the reality: Virginia is one of only five states with no limits on campaign contributions, and in 2020, we were ranked 46th out of 50 in the S.W.A.M.P. Index, which measures states on transparency and accountability.
By signing this petition, you’ll help send a clear message to the General Assembly ahead of the 2026 legislative session: Virginians want real reform to restore trust in our democracy.
Add your name today — your voice can make a difference and help strengthen our campaign to hold elected officials accountable.

[Your Name]
We believe the time has come for comprehensive campaign finance reform in Virginia. Accordingly, we call on you, our elected representatives, to take meaningful action and finally deliver real results to the citizens of the Commonwealth.
Virginians overwhelmingly support reform. In a 2021 nonpartisan Wason Center poll, nearly 80% of voters from both parties favored limiting the influence of big campaign donors. Majorities also supported contribution limits, stronger disclosure requirements, and increased oversight.
Yet despite this clear public mandate, over the past seven years, numerous reform bills have been introduced in the General Assembly—only to die quickly, many without even being heard in committee. This disconnect between elected officials and the voters they represent cannot be allowed to continue.
Therefore, we respectfully request that you
1) Enact comprehensive campaign finance reform by:
* Joining the 46 other states that have already limited campaign contributions;
*Vote in support of strengthen disclosure laws, including for Independent Expenditures;
*Strengthening oversight by the Department of Elections.
2) Pass a resolution urging Congress to overturn Citizens United by supporting an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. You would be joining over 22 states that have already done so, thus protecting Virginia elections from the corrosive impact of unlimited, unregulated money.
We urge you to act on these vital reforms that affect the integrity of our democracy and the voices of all Virginians.
