This Week at CMD

Primary election season is upon us, and the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has new reporting on the results for MAGA-aligned attorneys general and on the nation's biggest GOP donor. We also released an alarming story this week uncovering a number of wealthy individuals who are bankrolling the campaigns of the most far-right extremist political candidates in the country, including several who are aligned with white nationalists.

Plus, CMD launched an anti-protest lobbying tracker website, a new tool for researchers, journalists, and citizen activists that documents the laws being introduced in state legislatures around the U.S. that would trample on our First Amendment rights.

Here's the latest!
