    People-powered primaries are not corporate-backed. They do not cost tens of millions of dollars to elect a candidate voters believe in – that’s an auction.

    Great news then…

    Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is set to introduce a resolution to party members this month that moves to limit corporate and dark money spending in primaries, according to a draft obtained by The Hill on Tuesday.

    The resolution states that the “only way” to solve the “problem” of the flow of unlimited corporate money and dark money into elections is through “congressional action,” including a “constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.”

      If passed, the resolution would direct the DNC Committee on Reforms to “identify and study …real, enforceable steps the DNC can take to eliminate unlimited corporate and dark money in its 2028 presidential primary process.”

      The resolution is to look into it.
