I actively support crucial campaign finance reforms at the federal level, including the For the People Act and the DISCLOSE Act.
Support campaign finance reforms including the For the People Act and the DISCLOSE Act.
Occurrences
Today, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) and Congressman Kevin Mullin (CA-15) introduced the Sunlight on SuperPACs Act of 2026. This new legislation will require federal election campaign ads paid for by SuperPACs to disclose the name and dollar amount contributed to that SuperPAC by its top three major donors of $5,000 or more. By providing voters with more information on the funders of election ads, they will be empowered to make more informed decisions about the content of those ads. Other original co-sponsors of the Sunlight on SuperPACs Act include Congressman Sanford Bishop (GA-02), Congressman Ed Case (HI-01), Congresswoman Jill Tokuda (HI-02),and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-00), and Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07).

Assessments
Tokuda took concrete federal legislative action supporting campaign finance reform: she was listed on DISCLOSE Act measures in the 118th Congress during her first House term and again in the 119th Congress, and she sponsored the Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act. However, the cited bills remained at introduction/referral and the evidence does not show enactment of the promised reforms or action on the For the People Act. Because this was a serious attempt but not delivery of the promised policy outcome, it earns partial/effort credit rather than full delivery.
Tokuda has taken concrete federal campaign-finance reform action in office by reintroducing and sponsoring the Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act, which targets dark money and illegal campaign coordination. However, the cited record does not show enactment of that bill, nor does it show that the For the People Act or the DISCLOSE Act became law through her support. This is meaningful alignment with the promise area but short of delivering the promised reforms.
