Legislation
Ethics Legislation
Our government only works as well as our public officials— those officials need to be held to the highest ethical standards.
Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Campaign
Los Angeles Supermatch Public Financing Program
A stronger public financing system in Los Angeles has reduce the influence of wealthy special interests in local elections.
Local Redistricting
Voters should pick their representatives; representatives shouldn't pick their voters.
Featured Issues
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has the potential to super-charge election disinformation and other anti-voter tactics. We need a bold reform agenda to fight back. Common Cause is committed to pushing for AI transparency and accountability to support our democracy.
Ballot Language Access & Accessible Elections
Every voter has the right to cast a ballot independently and privately. We're working with local election officials to make that a reality.
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Money in Politics
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
