Interest Groups

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

An interest group is an organization that seeks to influence government policy around specific issues, without running candidates under its own label.

Show

Groups form around taxes, the environment, professions, gun policy — narrow nets, deliberately.

Watch for

Supporting candidates is common; fielding them under the group's label is what groups do not do.
