Watchdog groups are urging 2024 presidential candidates to disclose their top campaign fundraisers, which are known as “bundlers,” according to a letter.
While presidential campaigns can accept maximum contributions of $6,600 per person each election cycle, bundlers, who are typically wealthy and well-connected people, are permitted to tap into their lucrative networks and solicit large cash transfers to aligned candidates, according to the nonpartisan OpenSecrets website. Ahead of the 2023 year-end campaign finance filing deadline, a coalition of watchdogs signed an open letter this week requesting that committees for White House hopefuls “implement a system to regularly and meaningfully release” the identities of their bundlers, asserting that doing so is in the name of “transparency.”
