End corporate control of politics

End corporate control of politics

The Issue

Not since the Gilded Age have the scales of power in America been so tipped in favor of big-money corporate interests. And never has there been such an urgent need for a grassroots movement to counteract that power.

Progressives United was founded by former Senator Russ Feingold in the wake of the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

Members of Progressives United have fought to hold Republicans accountable for enacting a corporate lobbyist's wish list in Wisconsin and ensure the 1% pay their fair share in our country -- among other important fights.

Join progressives around the country in uniting behind our shared progressive principles today.

Online and off, his clients have consistently won tough campaigns, raising millions of dollars, driving millions of actions, moving millions of voters, and picking up a couple of Pollie Awards along the way. As a campaigner, he's run legislative races in the middle of nowhere and coordinated government relations efforts for large national advocacy groups. As a consultant, Patton developed media and strategy for Democratic candidates and unions as Senior Strategist at Compass Media Group in Chicago, provided fundraising and advocacy strategy for major nonprofits as Senior Account Executive at Donordigital in Berkeley, and did a fair bit of solo work in those fields.

He lives in Oakland with his wife and a pretty awesome puppy.
