Summary

To prohibit Joint Fundraising Committees that include federal candidates and Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees from making disbursements on paid media.

Plain-language summary

This bill would ban joint fundraising from spending money on paid media (like TV, radio, and digital ads) when those committees include both federal candidates and independent expenditure-only political committees. Joint fundraising committees pool money from multiple candidates and groups. Independent expenditure-only committees, sometimes called super PACs, can raise unlimited funds but cannot coordinate with candidates. The bill is currently in the introduction stage with Representative Michael Lawler as the sponsor.
