2 Campaign Finance What is the current trend for campaign finance in recent years? Which is more expensive: House or Senate In 1988 – $60 million total for pres. Campaign 2008 – $408 million 2016 – Around 1 billion raised

3 Campaign Finance Where does this money come from? Individual donations
Super-PACs Businesses Interest Groups

4 The Federal Election Reform Act of 1974
Created a Federal Election Commission to administer and enforce campaign finance laws Provided partial public funding for presidential primaries Provided full public funding for major party candidates in the general election Placed limitations on contributions Candidates have to be transparent on spending

5 Buckley v. Valeo (1976) Congress can’t limit how much people spend on their own campaign, just how much they contribute to others Why? Contributing to one’s own campaign is a form of free speech Trump spent $66 million on his own campaign

6 Soft Money Funds given to state or local parties for “party- building purposes” They don’t have to be disclosed How is this an issue? What are “party-building purposes”? What groups can put money here? How could putting money INTO a state be helpful for a campaign?

7 Issue Advertising Advertising for a specific issue
I.E. – Committees or term limits They can’t advertise for a candidate directly But why doesn’t this matter? Independent groups can spend money on whatever they want Can’t contribute directly So what do they do?

8 Consequences of cF The 2016 election is estimated to cost $6.6 billion
Decreased Competition Whoever has more money wins Dependence on PACs and wealthy donors What do these people really want?
