Foreign nationals could not give money to support or oppose state or local ballot measures. The rule would apply only to donations made after the bill becomes law.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Protecting Ballot Measures From Foreign Influence Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
Latest action on S. 3028: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state and local ballot measure campaigns. Those campaigns would have to avoid money from foreign nationals and may need stronger donor checks. It also affects foreign nationals who want to give money to ballot question campaigns. Election regulators would need to apply the wider federal rule.
Why this matters: Many voters decide state and local laws through ballot questions, and this bill would limit who can fund those campaigns. It would put foreign money limits on ballot measure campaigns, not just candidate elections. That could change how some campaigns raise money. The text does not show how large the effect would be, because enforcement and campaign funding patterns would matter.
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.
