Dark Money: Who’s Secretly Buying Our Elections?

Big political gifts create big obligations. Bill Keep and Nancy Lasher of Profit, Power, and Policy take a fresh look at campaign finance after Citizens United, using two live examples:

  • The Collins–Jackson Senate race in Maine, where most outside money goes to attack ads
  • The AI industry’s fight over regulation, from Super PACs targeting pro-regulation candidates to Meta’s state-level push

They cover what 501(c)(4)s and Super PACs can legally do, how foreign money slips through, and what it means for representative democracy.
