New York Times: “Almost every candidate for high office must now court ultrarich donors to finance their super PACs. And with each party more reliant than ever on networks of outside groups to supplement its advertising, opposition research, and data technology, professional fund-raisers and ‘donor advisers’… hold the keys to the big-money kingdom.”

“But the growing influence of paid fund-raisers and the terms of their compensation have also drawn the ire of donors in both parties, who have grown increasingly skeptical of Washington’s consultant class and the secret, often lucrative deals they reach with campaigns.”
