Take Back Our Republic

Take Back our Republic is a new group approaching campaign finance reform from a conservative, grassroots perspective. Based in Auburn, Alabama, the group’s staff are experienced former campaign professionals who want to overhaul campaign finance from the outside in. The group fits the Madison Initiative’s strategy of engaging Americans across the political spectrum in critical reforms to strengthen our democratic political system.

Launched in 2015, Take Back Our Republic believes campaign finance reform has been stalled by those attacking it as a liberal issue or a partisan one, instead of an American one. It seeks to advance conservative solutions to improve American democracy, including transparency, reducing foreign interfence, and advancing ranked choice voting and tax deductibility of small donations. The organization is creating a nationwide grassroots network of activists to raise the profile of these issues and develop pragmatic solutions, with the aim of fundamentally altering the landscape of American politics and how money influences policy.
