Cicilline, Whitehouse Introduce DISCLOSE Act to Repair Americans’ Faith in Democracy
Today, Representative David Cicilline (D-RI) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) led 197 colleagues in both houses of Congress in introducing the DISCLOSE Act to combat the flood of anonymous special interest spending in American politics.
