Senator Tester also publicized his support of the For the People Act, with small donor matching, via Twitter
It’s #SunshineWeek! I’m working to shine light on our campaign finance system and increase transparency in our elections. First up—I’m proud to cosponsor the #ForthePeopleAct. This bill will secure our elections and kick dark money out of politics.
Let’s get it passed.
