Campaign Transparency Act

Sponsored By: Representative Ramirez, Delia C. [D-IL-3]

Introduced

Summary

Eliminates the $200 reporting cutoff so donor identities must be listed for every federal campaign contribution. This bill would require campaigns to provide identifying information for all contributions, not just those above a set dollar threshold.

Show full summary
  • Donors: Small-dollar contributors would have their identifying information reported for every contribution because the prior $200 (and related) thresholds are removed.
  • Campaigns and political committees: Committees would need to include identifying information for every contribution on reports required under Section 304 of the Federal Election Campaign Act, increasing the amount of data they file; the change would apply to reports filed on or after enactment.
  • Public and scope: The public would see more complete contributor lists, and the bill's text does not change contribution limits or other reporting fields or enforcement beyond removing the threshold.

All campaign donors would be named

This bill would remove the $200 reporting threshold for federal campaign donations. Committees would have to list every donor, no matter how small the gift. The old $200 per year (or per election for candidate committees) rule would end. This would apply to reports filed on or after the date the bill becomes law. Committees would face more paperwork, and small donors would have less privacy, but the public would get fuller donor data.
