Firebrands Get Path to Campaign Cash in Democratic Election Bill

Apr 07 2021, 10:24 PM April 07 2021, 11:30 AM April 07 2021, 10:24 PM (Bloomberg) Democrats in Congress are trying to increase the clout of small donors, yet a provision in their voting-rights legislation risks favoring candidates from either party who hold polarizing views and widening ideological divisions on Capitol Hill. (Bloomberg) Democrats in Congress are trying to increase the clout of small donors, yet a provision in their voting-rights legislation risks favoring candidates from either party who hold polarizing views and widening ideological divisions on Capitol Hill. As part of the sweeping voting-rights bill, House candidates who opt into public financing would get a 600% match for individual contributions of as much as $200, a move intended to lessen the power of deep-pocketed backers. Small-dollar donors, however, tend to give more to candidates who draw national attention as firebrands meaning the provision could end up rewarding partisanship.

When we did a regular CEO Summit in June, and then one in September, where we warned them they’re on the record, they were extraordinarily candid, even so much so that with Vice President Biden, now President Biden, there, we got them to pivot from the topic we planned to talk about, which was the impact of the pandemic on their businesses, to talk about racial injustice issues in response to the George Floyd murder immediately preceding the meeting.
