FILE - In this Jan. 7, 2013, file photo, a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 jet aircraft is surrounded by emergency vehicles while parked at a terminal E gate at Logan International Airport in Boston as a fire chief looks into the cargo hold. Congress has been strangely silent as Boeing, its airline customers and federal safety regulators struggled over the past two months to solve problems with the new Boeing 787 fire-plagued batteries. The unusual bipartisan silence reflects Boeing’s political clout, wielded by legions of lobbyists, fueled by hefty political campaign contributions and by the company’s importance as a huge employer and the nation’s single largest exporter.

Johnson, a Republican, announced her efforts as part of Sunshine Week, an annual national initiative starting Sunday to promote greater transparency in government. Johnson said the state needs to do more to improve transparency in Michigan's election process and says she will work with lawmakers in the coming weeks to develop and introduce measures that will allow the public to hold the government more accountable.

The race has attracted large campaign contributions from outside the state. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
