Financing the 2020 Election is a worthy addition to the venerable series Herbert E. Alexander began in 1960. I raise my glass in hearty congratulations to the editors, Molly Reynolds and John Green, to the new and repeat contributors, and to OpenSecrets for providing the data. They have covered the ground well. Anyone with a professional interest in U.S. elections will want to consult this volume regularly - not only for its information and analysis of one election, but for placing the election in a consistent context, as well as providing a new baseline for looking ahead. Salut! --Michael J. Malbin, Professor (emeritus) of political science, University at Albany (SUNY), Co-founder and executive director (retired), Campaign Finance Institute In Financing the 2020 Election, Molly Reynolds, John Green, and other experts, provide a detailed and data rich examination of how candidates, parties, interest groups and individuals spent money to influence the election outcome. The 2020 contest saw a surge in limited and disclosed contributions but also unlimited and sometimes undisclosed spending, especially in competitive contests. The scope of this volume permits the reader to understand this complicated landscape. As with prior volumes in this series, the book also assesses prospects for reform. --David B. Magleby, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, Brigham Young University
