Yes on Prop 4

[Brad Forschner]

A “yes” vote supports repealing the ban on public financing of campaigns, enacted in 1988 and allowing the state and local governments to create programs that provide candidates with public funds under spending limits and eligibility rules.

Sean McMorris, Transparency, Ethics, and Accountability Program Manager for Common Cause:

“It’s essentially leveling the playing field. It’s also an attempt to diversify the candidate field, which gives voters more choice.”

Sen. Ben Allen (D-24):

“The California Fair Elections Act is all about trying to improve our Democracy and elections. Public financing programs serve as a tool to lessen the power of big money, expand opportunities for more people to run for office, and allow candidates to focus more on voter appeal instead of donor appeal.”
