Moynihan on excessive amount of money in American politics

April 2, 2025 Political Wire

Don Moynihan, Ford School professor, said “Money is a an aggressive growing tumor at the heart of American democracy. The 2023 Wisconsin state supreme court race cost $56 million, a national record at the time. The 2025 version blasted that out of the water, and could end up costing almost twice that much.” He made a comparison to the United Kingdom to show just how much the US spends on elecitons.
