Dear Reader,

This President’s Day we are reminded not just of the leaders who've shaped our nation, but also of the democratic principles upon which they stood. Yet, the cost of elections today threatens to undermine these very principles.

In the current political landscape, the price tag attached to running for office has skyrocketed, often drowning out the voices of ordinary citizens. The influx of money from special interests can distort the democratic process, leaving many feeling disenfranchised and disillusioned.

With more than 40 years covering money in politics, we’ve seen a plethora of primary and general election cycles, and one thing remains constant, the cost of elections continues to rise.

Your support can help us shine a light on the influence of money in politics and work towards a more equitable electoral system.

Together, let's honor the legacy of past presidents by safeguarding the integrity of our electoral process. Thank you for considering supporting our mission.
