Over the last 10 years the amount of money being spent on state legislative campaigns from health interests has gone up significantly.  There’s been a big shift of money in favor of Democratic candidates.  This is a bit of a puzzle, at this point in my reporting, because Democrats have only slightly increased their majorities in the state Senate and Assembly.  Why then such a big shift in favor of Democrats? Much more money now flows to Assembly candidates than to Senate candidates. But why, then, 10 years ago, were campaign contributions pretty equally distributed between Senate and Assembly members asks a recent column at www.centerforhealthreporting.org.
