Description

While many people are resigned to the current state of affairs in the campaign finance arena, Take Back Our Republic has convened a wide array of experts from right to left across thirty-two states who believe there is an opportunity to reform the way campaigns are financed. Engaging in research, education, and advocacy, Take Back Our Republic is informed by experts in the political system who know the campaign financing system from the inside. They have developed specific policy solutions, such as tax credits for individuals to make small political contributions to candidates, to help stem the influence of special interests, particularly at the state level. The Corporation is joining foundations and individuals in supporting this new entity increase its public education and outreach to policymakers and the public.
