CLC Letter to Kansas House Elections Committee Opposing Unlimited Contributions to Parties

Date

On January 29, 2025, CLC submitted written testimony to the Kansas House Committee on Elections, urging the Committee to reject H.B. 2054’s proposed repeal of limits on contribution limits to state political parties. Contribution limits play a critical role in preventing quid pro quo corruption and the appearance of such corruption in our elections. Removing these contribution limits to political parties would create opportunities for wealthy special interests to directly bankroll their preferred candidates through parties, facilitating the potential for corruption — or the appearance of corruption — that contribution limits are intended to prevent.
