Washington, D.C. – Public Campaign, a national nonprofit group working to advance public financing of elections, issued the following statement today from Nick Nyhart, its President and CEO, in response to the Caperton v. Massey U.S. Supreme Court decision:

“At its core, the Caperton case was about the inherent conflict of interest when our elected officials depend on or are aided by large campaign contributions and excessive spending in the electoral process. Americans know that campaign contributions from wealthy special interests impact the policy decisions made by Congress on matters that affect the life and well being of all of us.
