  • The Fourteen-Billion-Dollar Election Emerging Campaign Finance Trends and Their Impact on the 2020 Presidential Race and Beyond
    12 The Fourteen-Billion-Dollar Election Emerging Campaign Finance Trends and their Impact on the 2020 Presidential Race and Beyond Michael E. Toner and Karen E. Trainer The 2020 presidential and congressional election was the most expensive election in American history, shattering previous fundraising and spending records. Total spending on the 2020 election totaled an estimated $14 bil- lion, which was more than double the amount spent during the 2016 cycle and more than any previous election in U.S. history. 1 The historic 2020 spending tally was more than was spent in the previous two election cycles combined.2 Moreover, former Vice President Joseph Biden and Senator Kamala Harris made fundraising history in 2020 as their presidential campaign became the first campaign in history to raise over $1 billion in a single election cycle, with a total of $1.1 billion.3 For their part, President Trump and Vice Presi- dent Pence raised in excess of $700 million for their presidential campaign, more than double the amount that they raised in 2016.4 The record amount of money expended on the 2020 election was also fu- eled by a significant increase in spending by outside groups such as Super PACs as well as enhanced congressional candidate fundraising. Political party expenditures increased in 2020, but constituted a smaller share of total electoral spending. Of the $14 billion total, approximately $6.6 billion was spent in connection with the presidential race and $7.2 billion was expended at the congressional level.5 To put those spending amounts into perspective, the $7.2 billion tally at the congressional level nearly equals the GDP of Monaco.6 More than $1 billion of the $14 billion was spent for online advertising on platforms such as Facebook and Google.7 203 204 Michael E.

  • Baltimore County Voters' Guide 2020 Election
    Baltimore County Voters’ Guide 2020 General Election About this Voters’ Guide This Voters’ Guide is published by the League of Women Voters. The League has a long tradition of publishing the verbatim responses of candidates to questions important to voters. The League offers this Voters’ Guide to assist citizens in their decision-making process as they prepare for participation in the general election. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any candidate or political party. All candidates were asked to provide biographical information and to respond to a nonpartisan questionnaire. Candidates running for the same office were asked identical questions. Responses from candidates who will appear on the ballot are printed exactly as submitted to the LWV. We did not edit for content, spelling, or grammar. Presidential candidates’ responses were limited to 750 characters. All other candidates’ responses were limited to 400 characters and any additional material was cut off at that point. If a candidate did not respond by the print deadline, "No response received by deadline" is printed. Additional information on the candidates is available at www.VOTE411.org, which has any updates received after the deadline. Candidate websites provide additional biographical and policy information. If the candidate submitted a campaign website, it is listed under her/his name.

  • Statement of GBC President & CEO
    Statement of GBC President & CEO Donald Fry on Death of George Floyd Like many nationwide, the Greater Baltimore Committee and I are deeply saddened and dismayed by the brutal and senseless murder of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police. His murder was an act of cruel injustice - plain and simple. The GBC stands with all in the Greater Baltimore community and throughout the state and nation who demand justice for Mr. Floyd and his family. We mourn the tragic loss of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and so many others, like Freddie Gray, who have died as a result of misconduct and prejudice. The protests and demonstrations in Baltimore and across the country are filled with frustration, trauma, anger and tears. These emotions are an understandable reaction to the individual and systemic racism that is regrettably pervasive in American society. Every person deserves civil, humane treatment from police and from each other, and it is imperative that we take decisive action to eradicate racism from our society. During this deeply painful and unsettling time in our nation's history, it is our responsibility to ensure that this injustice drives positive action to address centuries of failures. This will require real, meaningful changes of attitude and behavior in our personal and professional lives. The GBC and I are committed to devote our time and energy to build bridges for racial unity, work towards solutions to address systemic societal inequities, demand just and responsible policing in Baltimore and beyond and build more equitable and inclusive workplaces. Most importantly, we commit to listen.
