Hi John,

We talk a lot about election spending around here. How it's increased dramatically over the years, how that means that politicians listen to special interests and the wealthy few, not everyday Americans…It's kind of our thing 🤑

How did we get here? No one woke up and said "I know, let's let big money rule our politics" but that's where we've ended up. 

We took a look at some of the key moments that have led to our current situation, where nearly $13 billion more is being spent on elections today than in 1998.
