Reform They Can Believe In

Submitted by Monica Rober on Fri, 01/08/2010 - 18:20

Public Campaign President Nick Nyhart talks to the Harvard Political Review about campaign finance reform. "Nick Nyhart, the president and CEO of Public Campaign, a nonprofit advocacy organization, told the HPR that one factor driving some politicians to use public financing is precisely 'the pressure they feel to fundraise.' The Fair Elections Now Act, which has been introduced in both the House and the Senate, relies on politicians' desire for a truce in the fundraising war, and, according to Nyhart, its passage would give federal candidates strong incentives to tap into a public financing program."
