Campaign Transparency Act

This bill would require political committees to publicly list the identity of every person who gives them money for federal elections, no matter how little. It removes the minimum dollar cutoffs that currently limit when donor names must be reported. The change applies to all future campaign finance reports filed after the bill becomes law, for races for President and Congress, under the Federal Election Campaign Act’s reporting section (section 304).

In short, it aims to make campaign money more transparent by ensuring every donor is identified on official reports for federal campaigns.

• Who is affected: Political committees and all their donors for federal elections.
• What changes: No more minimum donation thresholds for reporting a donor’s name; all donors must be listed.
• When: Applies to reports filed on or after the date it becomes law.
