Demos VP & Public Campaign Board Member Heather McGhee Discusses Montana Case on MSNBC

Submitted by John Papagiannis on Tue, 06/26/2012 - 19:03

Demos' Vice President of Policy & Outreach Heather McGhee, who serves on the Public Campaign Board of Directors, appeared on MSNBC's "Now With Alex Witt" and discussed yesterday's Supreme Court ruling in American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock, which sought to maintain Montana's 100 year old ban on corporate campaign giving.

Earlier this year, in American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock, the Montana Supreme Court upheld the state’s century-old Corrupt Practices Act that banned direct expenditures in elections for state offices. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned that ruling yesterday.
