The 2020 U.S. elections were competitive, nationalized, and saw both organizational and technological innovation. New spending records were set, individual contributions—both small and large—grew, and spending by actors other than candidates expanded further. All of these developments took place in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and amidst large-scale protests for racial justice in the summer of 2020.

On October 16, join Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution for a webinar to discuss the new book, "Financing the 2020 Election." Contributors to the book will expand upon their findings and offer observations on how the 2024 campaign—already underway—might be shaped by similar dynamics.

Viewers can submit questions for speakers by emailing events@brookings.edu or via Twitter at @BrookingsGov by using #ElectionFinance.
