Trusted Source: David Poole and the Creation of VPAP
In 1997, journalist David Poole launched a one-employee nonprofit to shine light on a blind spot in Virginia’s lax campaign finance system. In Trusted Source, published in August 2025 by UVA Press, VPAP founder David Poole tells the unlikely story of how the organization revolutionized political transparency in Virginia. Poole will be interviewed by journalist and author Kristen Green.
Copies of Trusted Source will be available for sale and signing by Fountain Bookstore.
