Campaign Legal Center Files FEC Complaint Against Ron DeSantis and State PAC for Violating “Soft Money” Ban

"Soft money undermines federal campaign finance laws because it is, by definition, money raised and spent outside the scope of those laws," said Saurav Ghosh, director of federal campaign finance reform at Campaign Legal Center. "We're talking about funds from billionaires and corporate special interests who could exert massive influence over the candidate they are financing. Laws banning these funds from being used to seek federal office are there for a reason – to prevent corruption, promote transparency, and ensure that wealthy special interests can't rig the system even further in their favor."
