Hey, Counties! Welcome to the show.

This week, we're chatting counting political money, AKA political donations! Each week on the show, we focus on a different topic with the word "count" or "counter" in the title.

Make sure to check back in our episode archive -- may we recommend our interview with Aryeh Nussbaum-Cohen, a counter tenor?!

- NPR's money tracker
- 538 on how money affects elections
- Investopedia on what candidates do with funds post campaign
- Common Cause
