On March 31, 2009, HR 1826 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, to provide for public funding for candidates for Congress.  The companion bill in the U.S. Senate is S752.

It is looking as though HR 1826 will not have gained any new co-sponsors during July 2010.  This will be the first month since the bill was introduced, and in which Congress was in session, that the bill won’t have gained any new co-sponsors.

The bill has 156 co-sponsors.  It gained 12 in March 2009, 10 in April 2009, 13 in May 2009, 21 in June 2009, 21 in July 2009, 13 in September 2009, 19 in October 2009, 8 in November 2009, 7 in December 2009, 4 in January 2010, 10 in February 2010, 3 in March 2010, 8 in April 2010, 4 in May 2010, and 3 in June 2010.
