Our Role
Seventy advocates for stronger campaign finance laws that promote transparency.
How do we do that? By holding candidates accountable when it comes to campaign money.
Who Is Involved
Running for office isn’t cheap, and candidates will always need to raise money for their campaigns — from voters, unions, business groups and everybody else who wants to put their money where their mouths are.
What We Believe
Seventy strongly believes that campaign spending should be transparent, with strict disclosure requirements and clear guidelines for candidates as to how they raise campaign funds.
