Campaign spending is out of control. In Berkeley, 7 of the last 8 City Council races went to the candidate who raised the most money, as did the last mayor\u2019s race. We need a system where candidates can successfully run for office even if they don\u2019t have connections to wealth.<\/p>\n

Join Common Cause for an open forum to discuss the Berkeley Fair Elections Act, a small donor matching funds proposal. Hear first hand from supporters of the measure and ask questions about how the system would work.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p><\/div>\n
