Proposition 89, The Clean Money and Fair Elections Act. Prop. 89
Political campaign fundraising is skyrocketing. More and more Californians are feeling ignored by Sacramento policy makers. There is a solution on the November 7 ballot: Proposition 89, The Clean Money and Fair Elections Act. Prop. 89 would allow ordinary people to mount campaigns without having to depend on wealthy special interests to bankroll—and buy—their political platforms. Statewide campaigns have become multimillion dollar affairs, making candidates increasingly reliant on private contributions from millionaire contributors, powerful unions and deep pocket corporations. We can no longer pretend that the current campaign finance system values the participation of Californians who cannot afford to contribute thousands of dollars to candidates.
