Political Bribery, Corruption, Secret Money, and Broken Elections

Mike talks with Josh Silver, Director and co-founder of [Represent.Us](https://represent.us/) , a nonprofit organization that brings together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections. Mike and Josh discuss why so many reformers take a left-wing approach, how big of a problem political corruption is, secret money and political speech, how to improve elections, and lots more. **Episode Links** [The 'Unrig the System' Summit](https://unrigsummit.com/)  [The American Anti-Corruption Act](https://anticorruptionact.org/)  [Lawmakers fighting Citizen Election Initiatives](http://lat.ms/2CsKbxb)  Represent.us [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/representdotus)  This episode of The Politics Guys is sponsored by **SeatGeek**, the easiest way to buy tickets to live events.
