Jo has lived and worked in western Massachusetts since the late 1990s, arriving fresh out of New York City’s Hunter College School of Social Work where she focused on homelessness policy, prison reform, and earned an MSW.
While Massachusetts limits contributions to a political campaign, there is a huge loophole: there are no limits on contributions to “independent expenditure PACS,” also known as “super PACs.” For the sake of our democracy, we need to plug this loophole. My bill (S.455, An Act relative to political contributions) would limit contributions to a super PAC to $5,000 per year. Limits on contributions to super PACs would help prevent corruption and the appearance of corruption.
