TL;DR

New Jersey Governor Philip D. Murphy has signed a controversial bill that doubles campaign contribution limits and makes it harder to police campaign spending. The bill also quashes investigations by the Election Law Enforcement Commission, a watchdog agency created 50 years ago to safeguard the integrity of campaign fundraising in New Jersey. The overhaul of New Jersey’s campaign finance rules comes 13 years after a United States Supreme Court ruling in favor of Citizens United unleashed limitless federal spending by corporations and unions.
