Thanks Jim for participating here. Can you explain the links between MaydayPAC and CounterPAC, their degree of cooperation and what makes them different? Thanks

PS: Congrats for the hard work you're doing.
- jim-greer 12y agoI'm actually on the board of MayDay PAC as well, but they are separate efforts. MayDay is trying to elect pro-reform candidates. CounterPAC actually doesn't care what views a candidate holds. We're 100% focused on the way they run their race. We're running ads calling on candidates to sign a legally binding pledge. If any group spends secret money on candidate's behalf, that candidate will donate from their campaign to a charity of their opponent's choice. MayDay has to pick sides. CounterPAC is happy to work with anyone who will run their race cleanly and transparently, even if they are backed by the Koch brothers or others - as long as their backers aren't anonymous.
