"Super PAC to End Super PACs" Hits Goal, Takes Aim at Dark Money Politics

The Mayday PAC, a progressive campaign finance reform project aimed at reducing the influence of a wealthy few in U.S. politics, met an ambitious $5 million goal on July 4.

When he launched the project earlier this year, Harvard Law professor and Internet activist Lawrence Lessig advised people to “embrace the irony” of needing to raise big money in order to overthrow its influence in politics.

Between matching funds and an additional $2 million raised in May, the Mayday PAC—known as the “SuperPAC to end all SuperPACs”—now has more than $12 million to spend on midterm elections, backing candidates who support the aim of reforming how U.S. political campaigns are financed.

Unlike most SuperPACs, which are funded by a small number of super-rich donors and corporations who critics say wield disproportionate influence over the political process, the Mayday PAC received donations from more than 52,000 individuals, the majority of whom contributed $100 or less.
