As we witness billionaires and corporate interests take over our government, it is impossible to ignore the alarming reality that something has gone deeply wrong in our country. Both at the federal level and right here in Virginia, the voices of working-class citizens largely lack representation. Instead, the politicians we elect have been supplanted by the robber baron tech billionaires, the donor class of the wealthiest individuals, and corporations.

Get money out of politics to the greatest extent possible by setting the most stringent caps on private donations possible, banning public corporations like Dominion from donating altogether, and funding a public option for campaigns that are willing to abstain from all but small-dollar private donations.
