About this listen

In this episode of For Our Freedom, American Promise CEO and host Jeff Clements speaks with Ohio State Representative Tex Fischer about federalism, election law, and who should decide the rules for money in elections.

Rep. Fischer discusses Ohio’s recent efforts to prohibit foreign spending in state elections and the legal challenges those laws now face in federal court. He also explains why he is sponsoring a resolution in the Ohio legislature calling on Congress to advance the For Our Freedom Constitutional Amendment—restoring the authority of states and Congress to decide the rules for money in elections.

Together, they explore the role of states as “laboratories of democracy,” the growing tension between state authority and federal court rulings, and what stronger transparency and accountability in elections could look like in the years ahead.
