AI Summary

This bill, the Help America Run Act, aims to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to treat payments for child care, elder care, and health insurance premiums as authorized campaign expenditures. This is intended to remove financial barriers that prevent everyday Americans, especially working parents and those relying on their jobs for health coverage, from running for office. The bill also places a limit on the total amount of such personal use payments, with a corresponding reduction in the amount of salary that can be paid to the candidate. The goal is to facilitate the candidacy of representatives who better reflect the experiences and challenges of the American people.
