Free and fair elections.
HJ 8 is a Wyoming legislative resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to regulate political spending. It argues that corporations should not have the same constitutional rights as natural persons regarding election funding, based on Wyoming's constitution. The resolution does not create new laws but asks Congress to clarify that states can regulate campaign contributions and expenditures. Introduced in 2019, it was referred to a committee but remains a non-binding request.
