DCCC has a room reserved for MoCs to run down from the Hill and make calls since they can't fundraise from the office. People don't realize how much time is taken up by fundraising for House members, especially Freshmen.

I'm told it smells like a locker room

That's assuming that Ocasio-Cortez can continue to attract small donors for her reelection, and the one after that, when she's not a cool insurgent but a boring incumbent. I think/hope she can, but less visible 2018 progressives will have a harder time reigniting the magic 2/3
-
Thus the value of the small-donor public financing in H.R. 1 -- it boosts the value of small donations, making it possible for more candidates to be like Ocasio-Cortez, and seek $$ from the same people they're asking for votes 2/3
-
Be careful of dividing political world into "good" people who rely on small donors and less good ones who don't or can't. It's a system, and we can design it to encourage and support small donors and the engaged politicians who seek their support, vs PACs or mega-donors. 3/3

Fair enough, Mark. But a little stigmatization of PACs can help push the system away from reliance on corporate largess.
-
I wholeheartedly agree. As more sources and donors become stigmatized or carry risk, pols will become more supportive of small-donor public financing. But that's the key, not just praising those fortunate or high-visibility enough to get small $ in current system.

Nobody backs a “not just” approach. Carrots and sticks.

What if no Congressional campaign could spend over $100,000 -- similar to rules set in the UK?

Money would flow to super PACs

Ryan, will your book explain how to get big-money congress members to change their ways? Not that I would support my congressman Walden if he changed his fundraising, but he'd probably be a little better if he had to rely on real human beings for support!

I hope so

This honestly explains why she's so active in getting her message out at so many events.

This is yet another reason we need to go to a purely public finance system, we shouldn't have politicians constantly working to get money for elections instead of doing work.

you mean for their own pockets mostly.

Some of its for them personally some of its for their campaigns.

ಲೋಡಿಂಗ್ ಸಮಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
