Campaign finance reform
Description
Campaign funding has grown to be an integral part of running for office in America. Is there a correlation between financial contributions and victory at the polls? And how are special interest groups repaid for their generous support once a candidate takes office? This program takes a bipartisan look at the urgent need to redefine and restrict the role of money in the electoral process. Experts include Ann McBride, of Common Cause; Fred Wertheimer, of Democracy 21; Representative Christopher Shays (R-CT); Professor Michael Sandel, of Harvard University; and Washington Post columnists Mark Shields, David Broder, and E. J. Dionne.
