The first thing I’d do as president is submit to Congress legislation to establish public funding for federal campaigns. It’s the only way to override Citizens United & even begin to disrupt the financial influence that has corrupted our government & devastated our public square.

I never understood why public funding was important until recently.

Citizens United was in 2010. Campaign finance has been a massive problem sincd 1976 with the Supreme Court's Buckley v. Valeo, which is the root of all the corruption. It stated: money is free speech, to limit expenditure by candidates violates the 1st amendment.

Yes! We need to be asking all candidates whether or not they are going to do this. No more lobbyists! No more legalized bribery!
