Re: Brandon’s war on corruption plan. [Brandon Presley for Mississippi]( {NAME}, fighting corruption is Brandon's number one priority, and we want to make sure everyone knows it! Even the media can't get enough of his groundbreaking plan: [Mississippi Today, WJTV, and WLOX have all reported on Brandon Presley’s war on corruption.]( Brandon’s message is simple: As governor, he’s going to tell the special interest, lobbyists, and the good ol’ boys that the party is over. [Please, take a moment to read Brandon’s Ethics Reform Plan below, then chip in $25 (or whatever you can) to help him defeat Tate Reeves and make this plan a reality for Mississippi ]( [DONATE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Brandon Presley’s War on Corruption Plan CURB THE INFLUENCE OF LOBBYISTS AND GIANT CORPORATIONS - Limit the gifts that politicians could receive from lobbyists, and require regular disclosure of gifts and lobbying activities. - Set boundaries on the unlimited flow of campaign contributions from individuals and groups, and ban direct contributions from corporations. - Ban state politicians from receiving campaign contributions during the Legislative session. - Enforce a one-year waiting period for former government officials to become lobbyists and vice versa. - Implement tougher punishments for politicians who violate ethics and campaign finance laws. - Open up the Legislature and state government to more transparency by expanding the open meetings law and holding every state agency accountable for responding to public records requests on time. CLEAN UP THE LARGEST PUBLIC CORRUPTION SCANDAL IN STATE HISTORY - Hire an independent investigator appointed by the Ethics Commission that cannot be fired by the governor or the legislature, a departure from Tate Reeves, who fired the investigator once he got too close to his lobbyist buddies who gave him football tickets. - Create a Task Force on Public Integrity with appointments from the state auditor, attorney general, and executive director of the Department of Finance and Administration to review all state contracts and evaluate the performance of any recipient of taxpayer dollars, with a focus on the Department of Human Services because, under Tate Reeves’ watch as lieutenant governor, he failed to provide oversight of $77 million that was stolen or misspent at DHS. CREATE A STRONG, NON-PARTISAN WATCHDOG - Empower the Mississippi Ethics Commission to hold state government accountable as a non-partisan and independent body with the authority to audit, investigate and penalize politicians who violate ethics and campaign finance laws. - The Ethics Commission will hold all campaign finance reporting and enforcement responsibilities. - Require campaign finance reports to be available online and easily accessible to the public, and due every 30 days in an election year and quarterly in non-election years. RESTORE INTEGRITY TO THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE - Establish a “Governor’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Transparency and Accountability” comprised of private citizens and good governance experts. The Task Force shall recommend to the governor and legislature specific action items to clean up state government. - Support legislation to prohibit companies seeking a license, permit, or non-competitive contract, along with their agents, PACs, and employees, from donating more than $250 to political campaigns from the date of solicitation and/or for 12 months after the final award is made. - Require the governor’s office and all state agencies to keep records of all meetings with lobbyists and companies and individuals lobbying the government for contracts or legislation that benefits them. --------------------------------------------------------------- [DONATE $25 →]( [DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT]( Thanks for your support, Team Brandon [DONATE TODAY]( [DONATE MONTHLY]( Follow along: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( Paid for by Brandon Presley Campaign Brandon Presley Campaign P.O.
