Preferred term

campaign reforms  

Definition

  • POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS HAVE evolved over the past 200 years into complicated networks complete with sophisticated polling strategies, sleek advertising, and large numbers of campaign consultants. There has been considerable discussion on the need to address campaign reform, especially following the 2000 presidential election between Bush (R-TX) and Gore (D-TN), as evidenced by the creation of the National Commission on Election Reform chaired by former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, along with Senator Howard Baker and Special Counsel to the White House Lloyd Cutler.
