The Money Signal—How Fundraising Matters in American Politics: An Event with Danielle M. Thomsen

Over the past two decades, the number of competitive congressional races has declined precipitously. Yet dollars raised continue to climb, while fundraising begins earlier each election cycle. In her new book The Money Signal, Danielle M. Thomsen of the University of California, Irvine, investigates the understudied reason that money matters in politics: Fundraising signals a candidate’s viability and strength. She draws on 40 years of comprehensive fundraising data and mixed-methods research to highlight the numerous ways that fundraising success influences subsequent donations, dropout decisions, media attention, and rewards in office. Please join AEI’s Kevin R. Kosar and Daniel Stid, the Brookings Institution’s Molly Reynolds, and Dr. Thomsen as they discuss the author’s findings, what they mean for candidate quality, and the implications for American democracy and self-government.
