  • Summary

  • In the inaugural episode of the podcast, I am joined by Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, author of the newly released book, Corporatocracy: How to Protect Democracy from Dark Money and Corrupt Politicians. As a professor of law and a Brennan Center fellow, Ciara brings a wealth of expertise to the table as we explore the alarming role corporations play in undermining our democratic process. From the Nazi party's dark money ties to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol to modern-day "ghost candidates" siphoning votes and more, Ciara pulls back the curtain on the insidious ways corporations and wealthy individuals are able to wield influence in our elections. We also discuss the campaign finance laws in place to help curb dark money and other abuses, additional reforms needed, and the importance of individual activism.
