How to Fight GOP Corruption: The Empirical Case for Rejecting Mega-Donor Money How Democrats can align their funding model with their message to win hearts, minds, and elections

As FEC deadlines approach, expect Dems to celebrate breaking fundraising records, driven by small donors. Chasing mega-donors is a trap that undermines their strongest weapon against GOP corruption. My research shows why Dems should reject big money and how they are, in fact, better off without it:

A horizontal bar chart titled “Pro-Cuomo super pacs have flooded the mayoral fundraising race” showing fundraising by New York City mayoral campaigns and allied super pacs. The chart displays total fundraising amounts for seven candidates, with bars segmented into three categories: Campaign (dark blue), Matching public funds (dark red/maroon), and Allied super pacs (light green). Andrew Cuomo leads significantly with $35.6 million total, with the majority from allied super pacs. Other candidates shown are Zohran Mamdani ($9.1mn), Brad Lander ($7.5mn), Scott Stringer ($5.1mn), Eric Adams ($4.8mn), Zellnor Myrie ($4.2mn), and Adrienne Adams ($2.8mn). The chart demonstrates how pro-Cuomo super PAC funding dwarfs other candidates’ total fundraising efforts.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My theory that big money flows towards the absolute worst candidates remains undefeated.

These policies, so far, typically target immigrants with le...
