Jeff Clements

Jeff Clements, co-founder and CEO of American Promise and former Assistant Attorney General of Massachusetts, dives deep into the impact of money in politics. He discusses the ramifications of the Citizens United ruling, which opened floodgates for super PACs and dark money, skewing representation. Clements advocates for a constitutional amendment to curb this influence and shares a state-led strategy that’s gaining momentum. He envisions a political landscape post-amendment that is more competitive and representative, drawing parallels to a 'second American revolution' in democracy.
