What does FINDINGS; PURPOSE. of Abolish Super PACs Act do?

This section outlines findings regarding the increasing influence and wealth of super PACs in U.S. elections. It states that the rise of super PACs has increased the likelihood of corrupt agreements between contributors and candidates. The text highlights a significant increase in independent expenditures since 2008, largely funded by contributions to super PACs. A small percentage of individual contributors (top 1% and then 96.94% in 2024) have been responsible for a large share of super PAC contributions. The section argues that current bribery laws are insufficient to protect voters from corruption facilitated by super PACs. It contends that super PAC contributions create an appearance of corruption and undermine public confidence in government. The purpose of the Act, as stated, is to limit the risk and appearance of corruption by placing limits on contributions to super PACs and to restore public faith in elections.
