Democrats officially adopted a platform at their convention this week that calls for a sweeping overhaul of campaign finance laws, including forcing the disclosure of covert sources of political spending — money that right now is helping to boost the party's candidates for the House, Senate and White House.
Big donors, super PACs and nonprofit organizations that may shield their donors' identities are going all in for the 2020 campaigns, funding ads and other efforts for candidates in both parties.
Quite a lot has been going on:

So, I drove all the way to Berkeley and on the way back we stopped in this little town where there's great Mexican food off the 101 Freeway.
