Prohibiting Congressional Members from Fundraising During Government Shutdowns.
This bill aims to prevent members of Congress from soliciting campaign funds when the federal government is partially or fully shut down due to a lack of budget. This means that during periods when essential government services might be limited, politicians should focus on resolving the issue rather than raising money for their campaigns. The goal is to increase public trust in the government by showing that the priority is the functioning of the state, not electoral politics.
