Bill to give shareholders more power in corporate decision-making and voting.
The problem
Shareholders often have limited influence over major corporate decisions despite owning company stock and facing consequences of poor management choices.
The proposal
Increases shareholder voting rights, requires more frequent shareholder approval for executive decisions, and enhances transparency in corporate governance matters.
The impact
Shareholders gain more say in companies they own. Executives face more oversight. Companies must report more information to investors regularly.
Shareholders can prevent risky or unethical decisions by corporate leaders. This reduces scandals and protects investor money. Companies may operate more responsibly when owners have real power.
Shareholders get more information about how companies spend money and make decisions. This helps investors make smarter choices about where to put their money.
Shareholders can vote on executive compensation packages. This may prevent CEOs from giving themselves excessive raises while workers suffer or companies struggle.
When owners have power, companies focus on lasting success instead of quick profits. This benefits employees, communities, and the broader economy over time.
Companies need approval from many shareholders before acting. This slows down decision-making and prevents quick responses to market changes or emergencies.
Frequent voting and reporting requirements cost money and time. Smaller companies especially struggle with these new administrative burdens and legal requirements.
Large shareholders or special interest groups might push companies toward decisions that benefit them but hurt other shareholders or employees. Majority voting can harm minority interests.
If companies cannot act quickly or take calculated risks, they may fall behind competitors. Global companies facing fewer restrictions could gain market advantages.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
