Proposed NC constitutional amendment aims to halt all corporate political donations

North Carolina Constitutional Amendment Targets Corporate Political Cash

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A fresh legislative push in North Carolina seeks to fundamentally change how political campaigns are financed within the state. Proposed as a constitutional amendment for the upcoming general election ballot, the measure aims to outlaw direct political spending by corporations.

Senator Natasha Marcus (D-Mecklenburg), the primary sponsor of Senate Bill 379, argues that commercial entities possess a level of influence on elections that far exceeds that of ordinary citizens. "Corporations exist to earn profit, not to vote," Senator Marcus stated during a press conference on Tuesday, emphasizing that this unique designation between human voters and business interests must be restored. Political speeches, policy debates sent directly to candidates, and other similar expenditure categories contained exemptions in what proponent groups were laboring fruitlessly all Tuesday at audience questions labeled "pure product endorsements only."
