Tony Raimondo on Government Reform

Democratic Senate challenger


Earmarks help communities in need, but require transparency

Raimondo on Earmarks: Supports earmarks but calls for more transparency in the earmarking process. Earmarks have done good things for Nebraska communities, universities and others. Earmarks for me should start with local Nebraska communities in need.
