I certainly want campaign finance reform. I just wish this would do it in a way that would stand up to a constitutional challenge.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nobody wants campaign finance reform more than me. It would save me a fortune.
We need real campaign finance reform to loosen the grip of special interests on politics.
Any constitutional amendment that simply gives Congress the option of regulating campaign finance fails to immediately achieve what the American people want, and that is a complete reversal of Citizens United and other Supreme Court decisions that have allowed corporations and the wealthy few to drown out the voices of everyday voters.
One of the biggest issues for me is campaign finance reform.
It starts with campaign finance reform.
Reform is not for the short-winded. I'm committed to making sure the Senate is more than just a graveyard for good ideas.
In my political career, I'd like to see a constitutional balanced budget amendment.
I think we have to look at the whole way campaigns are financed. The No. 1 problem is PAC and special-interest money.
I have introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and make it clear that the Congress and state legislatures do have the ability and the power to regulate and get corporate funding out of political campaigns.
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
