Explainer: Money & Politics

This episode is all about money and politics. We dig into the different sources of money that flow into the industry, who they go to, how they are used, and what all of this means for political professionals building businesses in the industry. To keep things simple, we’re going to speak about federal election spending because all 50 states are different.To help us understand, we’re joined by Michael Ahrens, a Senior Vice President at Bullpen Strategy Group. He was the Communications Director at the Republican National Committee and has a background in communications and research. Michael has also been involved in fundraising and as a strategic advisor to major donors.
