No Self-Promotion with Public Dollars Act

The No Self-Promotion with Public Dollars Act proposes to restrict how federal agencies and officials use taxpayer money for public communications. If enacted, the bill would prevent government employees and elected officials from featuring their own names, faces, or personal branding on advertisements, signs, or other materials intended to promote federal programs or services. This aims to ensure that public funds are used strictly for informing the public rather than boosting the personal profile of individual politicians.

For everyday citizens, this legislation would likely change the appearance of government notices, public service announcements, and project signage. Instead of seeing a specific official's name associated with a new bridge or a health initiative, the focus would remain on the agency or the service itself. Proponents of such measures generally argue that these rules prevent the use of public resources for what could be considered campaign-style self-promotion, ensuring a clearer distinction between official government business and personal political interests.
