Abstract

The Supreme Court's emphasis on "corruption and the appearance of corruption" in its campaign finance jurisprudence has stimulated criticism on several fronts. I hope in this article to give some sense of both the possibilities and the limits of understanding campaign finance as an issue of corruption.

Keywords: campaign finance, corruption, Buckley v. Valeo, representation
