WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 6: I Vored election stickers are given to voters at Shepherd Elementary School in Washington, D.C., on midterm election day, November 6, 2018. (Astrid Riecken/For The Washington Post)Sweeping changes to campaign-finance regulations in the nation’s capital are on track to become law after Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) opted not to veto legislation passed by the D.C. Council. He said it was “fantastic” that the mayor had allowed it to advance, even though she did not sign it. If U.S. lawmakers do not act to reverse it, the legislation’s regulations would take effect during the 2022 election cycle. A separate bill passed by the Council that establishes public financing for local campaigns will take effect during the 2020 election cycle.
