MCV Education Fund: ‘Keep Shining’ Light on Dark Money

New website, petition asks future leaders to build on Bullock’s leadership

(BOZEMAN, Mont.) – The Montana Conservation Voters Education Fund is asking Montana’s future leaders to “Keep Shining” light on dark money, building on the leadership of Montana Governor Steve Bullock.

MCVEF today launched KeepShining.us, a new website and petition campaign thanking Bullock for his fight against dark money. Bullock has successfully championed the war against dark money in politics, taking the fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and shepherding into law important legislation to bring transparency into the political process.

Bullock is not seeking re-election in 2020 due to term limits. That’s why KeepShining.us is encouraging “all future decision-makers—from Montana’s next governor, to our U.S. Senators, to our statewide elected leaders and legislators—to keep building on Governor Bullock’s critical leadership.”

“Today, dark money and special interests are alive and well across our political landscape, and they have a direct impact on our natural landscapes,” said Aaron Murphy, Executive Director of the MCV Education Fund. “We need all of our elected decision-makers to follow Governor Bullock’s lead. We thank him for his championship of good government, and we encourage all Montanans to join us in demanding transparency as Governor Bullock has.”
