Q&A on CAP’s Plan To Beat Citizens United

CAP Senior Fellow Tom Moore answers questions from TikTok users about how states can reclaim their authority to get corporations and dark money groups out of politics.

Viewers bring tough questions about the Citizens United decision and state authority over corporations. Tom Moore, author of the Center for American Progress’ new report, explains why this approach is not regulation but redefinition—states declining to grant political spending powers to the corporations they create. The answers show how one state’s action can stop both in-state and out-of-state corporations from pouring money into its politics.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
