Campaign finance reform crusader Lawrence Lessig announced Sunday that he had raised the $1 million needed for him to seek the Democratic nomination for President.
"I'm running to get people to acknowledge the elephant in the room," he said. "We have to recognize we have a government that does not work. This stalemate, partisan platform of American politics in Washington right now doesn't work. And we have to find a way to elevate the debate to focus on the changes that would actually get us a government that could work again, that is not captured by the tiniest fraction of the 1% who fund campaigns."
Lessig's campaign will focus on one issue: The Citizen Equality Act, a proposal that couples campaign finance reform with other laws to curb gerrymandering and expand voting access.
