House Democrats' voting reform bill H.R. 1 mandates the government match congressional candidates' small-dollar donations — but this provision rewards the most extreme candidates.
"It doesn’t do away with special interests. It just changes the special interests and how they go about it," he said. The For the People Act of 2021, known as H.R. 1, would provide public matching funds for qualifying congressional and presidential candidates at a rate of 6:1, among many other provisions. The 6:1 match would kick in for each grassroots contribution to a candidate up to $200. For example, a $200 donation to a House candidate would garner a $1,200 match in public funds for a total contribution of $1,400.More Related News
