How do campaign fundraisers tap into potential donors' motivations? Exploring three decades of historical data and also drawing extensively on the insights of contemporary campaign directors and consultants, Bertram Johnson makes sense of why people give and considers what this means for the campaign finance system, and the quality of representation, in the United States. 606 $aCampaign funds$zUnited States 606 $aElections$zUnited States 615 0$aCampaign funds 615 0$aElections 676 $a324.7/80973 700 $aJohnson$b Bertram N.$01675436 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811183103321 996 $aPolitical giving$94040897 997 $aUNINA
