 Presentation by Nancy Morgan, coordinator of the BIGMONEYOUT VA chapter. Nancy will speak about campaign finance reform. Ann Hess, who is the League’s representative to the legislative committee charged with studying campaign finance reform, will also join for the Q&A. 

From the website of Big Money Out VA (https://vmop.org/):

We are a group of grassroots advocates in Virginia, affiliated with the nonpartisan group, American Promise, and dedicated to getting big money out politics. At the national level, our Virginia chapter of America Promise is working to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing Congress and the states to regulate election spending. This action is needed to permanently reverse the damaging effects of the 2010 Citizens United v. the FEC ruling that equated money with free speech and that unleashed a torrent of money into our country’s elections.....

Virginia is one of the only states that has not set legal standards for both individual and public/private sector political contributions.
