Democracy for Sale: How to Make Elections About Candidates and Issues
- to This is a past program
With more money than ever pouring into political campaigns, how do we ensure that average citizens have a voice and that candidates represent people and not money? Bob Edgar, former congressman and head of Common Cause, the nation’s leading advocate for campaign finance reform, and Jessica Levinson, director of political reform at the Center for Governmental Studies, join us to offer alternatives to money-driven political campaigns.
