On Tuesday, April 12, the Brennan Center's Monica Youn testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in support of the Fair Elections Now Act. The Brennan Center helped draft the original legislation, which was re-introduced last week by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). The bill would create a public financing system for congressional elections. "Fair Elections boosts the voices of small donors by providing public matching funds for small contributions," Youn argues in her testimony. Former Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) also testified.
