Dive into the world of campaign finance in the 2024 Presidential, Senate, and House elections! Ever wonder where all that money comes from and how it’s used? Join us for an engaging, nonpartisan exploration of the financial side of politics. The two-part course will break down the history of campaign spending and take a close look at the funding for the 2024 elections. We’ll compare this year’s spending to past campaigns, identify the major players, and highlight important trends in campaign finance. Plus, there’ll be plenty of time for lively discussions!

So, bring your curiosity and investigative spirit as we uncover the facts behind this topical— and pricey—subject. Led by Ken Allen, a retired CFO and economics instructor at the University of Arkansas, this course is perfect for anyone wanting to understand the impact of money in elections.
