Too often, people think of Citizens United as a complete barrier to real campaign finance reform. Yet there are ways to address some of the biggest problems around money in politics that don’t depend on amending the Constitution or changing SCOTUS.

• Andrew Bossie, Executive Director of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections
• Meredith McGehee, Policy Director at Campaign Legal Center
• Marc Solomon, Principal and National Director for Civitas Public Affairs Group
