Nonprofit Group to Provide Information on Lawmakers
April 26, 2006
The new nonprofit Sunlight Foundation, in Washington, is the latest group to try to connect voters with information online about candidates for Congress, reports The Washington Post.
Michael R. Klein, a securities lawyer, gave $3.5-million to create the organization. Its executive director, Ellen S. Miller, headed the Center for Responsive Politics for a dozen years and was deputy director of the Campaign for America’s Future, a group that lobbied against President Bush’s Social Security and Medicare drug plans.
