This move: helping employees move to a different state is actually totally OK.
The problem is the dark money and superpacks (citizens united supreme court ruling etc). This is a bipartisan problem that both Obama and Trump claimed they would fight. Obama couldn't get any traction for this, I'm unaware of anything Trump tried to do other than attacking the liberal side of this.
Biden also went out against this but it's very low on his priority list with everything going on...
In the supreme court it's pretty clear whose side is at fault. The justices that voted for the case of citizens united are all from the right side of the map. So the only way to reverse this seems to be a complete overhaul of the supreme court which seems unlikely.
