Common Cause of Delaware is holding a for a special forum on the future of Delaware politics tonight at 6 pm in the post-Citizens United age of secret, unlimited political spending. Will Delaware’s tradition of civility in its politics endure now that special interests can spend unlimited amounts on our elections? Is last year’s U.S. Senate race in Delaware, which set a record for money coming from out of state and for total money spent, a harbinger of things to come?
The forum will be held in the Banquet Hall at the back of the Iron Hill Brewery Restaurant on Main Street in Newark. It starts at 6 pm. Find out how Common Cause and other groups are working to make political spending in Delaware more transparent and make it easier to hold our elected officials and our political candidates accountable. Common Cause is Delaware’s nonpartisan watchdog and is working to bring together groups across the political spectrum who want to see a greater degree of transparency in our government.
