The 2016 election cycle is in full swing. When it comes to campaign finance, James Thurber, Distinguished Professor at American University’s School of Public Affairs, has a lot to say.
Thurber is a world renowned expert on campaigns, elections, and politics. For more than 30 years, he and the American University’s Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies (which he founded) have conducted research on campaign conduct, lobbying and ethics. Thurber even worked with President Barack Obama – when he was a senator – on ethics and lobbying reforms.
Watch as Thurber describes what campaign finance is and how it may impact the 2016 election in this SPA Policy Explainer.
