Democrats to push campaign finance reform legislation

Rep. John Larson said Democrats will introduce several proposals to reform a system "awash" in money.

House Democrats will use the month of December to push legislation overhauling the way elections are funded, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus announced Wednesday.

Warning that the 2012 elections will likely be the most expensive in the country's history, Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) said Democrats will be introducing "several" campaign finance reform proposals before the end of the year.
