We explore campaign finance reform at the national level and at the state level. Some advocates say that New York State Democrats have been hypocritical.

Our guests debate it:
- Leslie Danks Burke, founder and president of Trailblazers PAC
- David Primo, professor of political science and business administration at the University of Rochester
- Bob Shea, communications consultant
