In a letter sent to U.S. Congressmen today, 36 organizations, including Campaign Legal Center urged all U.S. House Members to support H.R. 4617, the SHIELD Act, introduced by House Administration Chair Zoe Lofgren and Rep. John Sarbanes to “strengthen the laws to protect U.S. elections against foreign intervention.” The organizations also strongly urged members to vote against “any amendments to weaken or undermine the legislation.” The SHIELD Act was reported out of the House Administration Committee on October 21, 2019.
