Get Foreign Money Out of United States Elections Act
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to apply the ban on contributions and expenditures by foreign nationals under such Act to foreign-controlled, foreign-influenced, and foreign-owned domestic business entities, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to change the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 by extending the ban on contributions and spending by foreign nationals to include foreign-controlled, foreign-influenced, and foreign-owned companies operating in the United States. This change aims to prevent foreign entities from financially influencing U.S. elections. The bill would affect these foreign business entities by prohibiting them from making political contributions or spending money on political campaigns. The bill was introduced on July 22, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on House Administration for further consideration. As of now, it is in its initial stage of the legislative process, and no further actions have been taken yet.
The bill is sponsored by multiple Democratic representatives, reflecting a broad interest in addressing foreign influence in U.S. elections. This legislative effort highlights the ongoing concern over foreign interference in domestic political processes and the need for stricter regulations to protect the integrity of U.S. elections.
Key actions so far include the bill's introduction and its referral to the appropriate committee for review. Future steps will likely involve committee hearings, potential amendments, and a vote by the full House before it can proceed to the Senate. Constituents should stay informed about these developments as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
