About this organization
Mission
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center advances democracy through law at the federal, state and local levels, fighting for every American’s rights to responsive government and a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the democratic process.
About
Campaign finance and ethics: The dependence of persons running for office on wealthy special interests is a serious flaw in our political system, and makes elected officials responsive to their large donors and funders rather than to the public. The tremendous power of special interest money in politics often drowns out the voice of everyday Americans, threatens our First Amendment freedoms, and erodes the foundations of our entire democracy. To restore fairness to our political system, CLC advocates for passing and enforcing strong campaign finance reforms that help guarantee a democracy responsive to the people. These reform solutions include placing reasonable limits on funding of campaigns as well as complete transparency of campaign spending. CLC helps develop such policies at the state and local levels, and works to ensure that the Federal Election Commission enforces current campaign finance laws at the federal level. CLC also defends in court laws that promote the First Amendment's guarantee that every American has the ability to participate in the political process. The public confidence is earned through the commitment of those in and working with government to uphold the principle that public service is a public trust. Federal, state and local governments have a responsibility to enact and enforce clear ethical guidelines and laws. Only then can public officials adequately navigate potential conflicts and be held accountable when they break the public's trust. This system is necessary to ensure a healthy democracy. CLC proposes solutions for stronger ethics at all levels of government, and serves as a government watchdog, holding elected officials accountable for ethics violations.
