Congressman Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) has reintroduced the Jonny Wade Pediatric Cancer Research Act. Davis’ bill would eliminate the Presidential Election Campaign Fund and transfer the $391.5-million balance to the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund.
Wade was 8-years-old when he died of brain cancer on Christmas Eve 2015. Davis told The Big Z in a previous interview he got to meet Jonny not long before he died.

Davis says the Presidential Election Campaign Fund has not been used by any major party candidate since 2008.
