Amend campaign finance law to add public matching funds for candidates
In Plain English
Richmond currently regulates how much money candidates can receive from donors during elections. The proposed changes would create a new public matching funds program where the city gives candidates taxpayer money to match private donations. If approved, qualifying candidates receive city funds to help pay for their campaigns.
