Posts - Bill - HR 1467 POLE Act
house 02/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to strengthen local democracy with the Protecting Our Local Elections Act, which proposes withholding federal election funds from states that don't allow local elections in odd-numbered years. This ensures that local candidates and issues receive the attention they deserve, allowing voters to make informed decisions and fostering effective local governance.
