Ditching Dark Money in Politics, The Next Steps With Congressman Dean Phillips, MN-3

Money, money, moneyyyyyyy! That is what this episode is all about – specifically dark money in politics. You know, that shady, sus thing that seems to have a way of controlling what policies make it across the finish line. To get the rundown on what dark money is and how we can say toodle-loo to it, we brought on a Congressman who has been making a name for himself as a leader on campaign finance reform –  Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota’s third district. In convo, he gives us more than chump change on why dark money is so prevalent, how it’s used, and the legislation that’s needed to fix this issue. For a glimpse ahead, we talk about the DISCLOSE Act, Honest Ads Act, Get Foreign Money Out of Elections Act, AND a select committee of note –  the US House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.
