WASHINGTON — In the 118th Congress, a growing contingent of lawmakers is telling corporate PACs: We don’t want your cash.
More than 70 members say they are swearing off such contributions, indicating that a trend, almost exclusively among Democrats, that caught on during the 2018 election cycle has persisted. Despite the growth, the move has not led to the enactment of major campaign finance policy or legislative changes.
With divided control of Congress next year, even a minor overhaul of political money laws seems unlikely.
