Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after the Federal Election Commission (FEC) ruled that federal election law did not prohibit foreign donors from financing support for or opposition to state ballot initiatives in the United States.
“Foreign nationals should not be able to engage in America’s democratic process,” Rubio said. “It is illegal for foreign nationals to donate to political candidates, parties, and committees. I will soon introduce legislation to extend that commonsense protection of our political process to ballot initiatives and other referendums. We must do everything we can to protect the votes of American citizens.”
