Show Notes
Georgia lawmakers propose a bill, Senate Bill four twenty-three, to limit out-of-state money in local political campaigns. The measure, which passed the Senate and a House committee, makes it a felony to funnel out-of-state money through middlemen. Campaigns must match or exceed out-of-state donations with local funds or face penalties. The bills sponsors argue it promotes transparency and protects Georgia from external interests, while critics claim it favors self-funders and disadvantages candidates without deep pockets or out-of-state support. The bill is set to become law next January, following the current election cycle.
