Transparency is not about restoring trust in institutions. Transparency is the politics of managing mistrust.
I believe transparency in government is key to restoring our nation's faith in its elected leaders.
Ever since I arrived in Washington in April 2009, I have been fighting for more transparency and accountability in government.
