Abstract

Campaign Finance Earns Interest

Corn, David | October 2, 1995 issue

add to cart close window

Russel Feingold, Democratic senator from Wisconsin, struck an odd-couple alliance with John McCain, Republican senator from Arizona, to try to curb the excesses of the campaign finance system that befouls Congress. The pair just introduced what Feingold describes as the "first bipartisan campaign finance proposal in ten years." Feingold, who at the start of this Congress despaired at the thought of reform possibilities, is encouraged enough to declare campaign reform not a lost cause. In the spring McCain, Feingold and California Senator Dianne Feinstein held a press conference to declare the basics of a new campaign reform initiative. INSET: PAC man, by Amy Shefrin & D.C..
