Campaign Finance Reform
We believe that the methods of financing political campaigns should:- Ensure the public’s right to know
- Combat corruption and undue influence
- Enable candidates to compete more equitably for public office, and
- Allow maximum citizen participation in the political process.
The California Fair Elections Act
The California Fair Elections Act proposes a pilot project to provide Clean Money — public campaign funding — to candidates for Secretary of State in the elections of 2014 and 2018. Visit the California Clean Money Campaign Web site for more information about this measure appearing on the June 8, 2010 ballot.
