Democracy is not cheap. The 2016 election campaign broke all previous records for campaign spending with candidates, parties, and interest groups spending a combined total of $6.9 billion. Of that funding, almost 40 percent was donated by 50 donors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/superpac-donors-2016/?tid=a_inl
For this week, you will go to a primary source to examine the influence of money on a congressional race. Your task is as follows:
Go to the Federal Election Commission’s website (www.fec.gov) or Open Secrets’s website (www.opensecrets.org).
Select a recent congressional campaign and identify the candidates? YOU MAY NOT PICK A CONGRESSIONAL RACE COVERED IN A PREVIOUS POST.
How much did each candidate raise?
How much did each spend?
How much came from individuals and from political action committees (PACs)?
Calculate the percentage of the total that the winner spent.
How does the percentage of spending compare with the percentage of the final vote?
Based on your research, do you think that money is corrupting American politics? If so, why so?
Your response should reference information from the website to back up your viewpoint. Any response that does not, that is incomplete, or covers the same congressional race as a previous post will receive 0 points.
