Abstract:
In addition to making direct contributions, political donors have another tool at their disposal to influence the outcome of elections - independent expenditures. Although 39 states have laws requiring some kind of disclosure of independent expenditures, this report focuses on the independent expenditure data obtained from five states with the best public accessibility - Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine and Washington.
