Lawmakers to discuss proposal to overhaul campaign finance laws at Monday Newsmaker

U.S. Reps. David Jolly (R-Fla.) and Rick Nolan (D-Minn.) will discuss what they said were the long hours they needed to spend making fundraising phone calls and their proposals to change the practice at a Newsmaker at 10 a.m. Monday, May 16 in the Bloomberg Room.

Jolly, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Senate to succeed Marco Rubio, introduced legislation in February to ban members of Congress from personally asking for money.

Nolan is a co-sponsor of the legislation. After serving in the House in the 1970s, he returned to Washington in 2013 and said he hardly recognized the institution because of the amount of time members spend dialing for dollars.
