Plus: Ward 6 Week Is Soon!

DC Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) has introduced legislation containing a suite of new provisions requiring greater transparency in campaign contribution filings, restricting the use of AI-generated content in political campaigns, speeding up investigations and rulings by the Office of Campaign Finance, and making a number of updates to DC’s highly successful Fair Elections Program that has put DC residents, rather than big-money interests, back in the driver’s seat every election season. The changes would apply to local elections only.
