Curbing Corporate Money in Politics: A Path Forward

Indivisible Santa Fe Radio by Donovan Kolbly and Gary Kowalski

Episode notes

Last spring Hawaii passed legislation outlawing corporate spending on political campaigns. Montana is doing much the same with a citizen referendum. Could the same approach work here in New Mexico? Republicans and Democrats alike say that Super Pacs and Dark Money are corrupting our elections., but what can be done? Today Donovan and Gary speak with a trio of lawyers and activists who are drafting a statute that would rein in the flow of cash and restore power to ordinary voters, without the need for a Constitutional Amendment to circumvent Citizens United. Natlie Wright-Curley of Indivisible, John House of New Mexicans for Money Out of Politics and Dave Wheelock of Reclaim Our Democracy explain how to make it happen.
