More groups would have to report who funds political ads and campaigns about federal judge nominees. The bill also expands bans on foreign money in U.S. elections, ballot measures, and some online political activity.

DISCLOSE Act of 2026 is a House bill in committee.

Latest action on H.R. 7802: Referred to the Committee on House Administration, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects groups that pay for political ads, election messages, or campaigns about federal judge nominees. It also affects major donors, foreign-linked spenders, federal regulators, courts, voters, journalists, and watchdog groups.
Why this matters: This bill matters because voters often cannot tell who is paying for political ads or advocacy. The bill would expose more of that money trail, especially when money moves through nonprofits, corporations, or other middle groups. It could also make foreign influence harder to hide. The real effect would depend on how agencies enforce the rules, how courts handle challenges, and how groups change their spending.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
