One in every $3 donated to California state campaigns since 2000 came from 100 individual and group donors who gave over $1 billion, according to a new report from California Watch. We'll talk with the lead investigative journalist as well as campaign donation experts about money in politics and the influence that a few wealthy groups and individuals have on fundraising in state elections.

Host: Dave Iverson

Guests:

  • Coulter Jones, data analyst and reporter for California Watch, part of the independent, nonprofit Center for Investigative Reporting
  • Daniel Newman, co-founder and executive director of MAPLight.org, a nonpartisan nonprofit illuminating the connection between money and politics
  • Jim Sutton, professor of law at Hastings College of Law and founder of the Sutton Law firm
  • Robert Stern, former president of the Center for Governmental Studies
