In a letter to groups that urged him to back the legislation, Brown said the DISCLOSE Act did not go far enough in requiring transparency, accountability and fair play.
Rather than reform our campaign finance laws and provide increased transparency, the DISCLOSE Act advances the political agenda of the majority party and special interests in an effort to gain a tactical and political advantage little more than 100 days before an election, Brown wrote.
Browns support was seen as crucial to the bills success. The DISCLOSE Act, sponsored by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), passed the House by a narrow margin last month, but chief Senate sponsor Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been unable to find a GOP partner for the bill. Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid has promised floor time for the bill before the Aug. recess, but without Browns vote it faces dim prospects.
