Support state bill allowing city to create public campaign financing program
In Plain English
Senate Bill 1107 would let all California cities create programs where taxpayers fund local election campaigns instead of relying on private donations. Richmond currently has no public campaign financing system. If the state bill passes and the city later chooses to participate, candidates could receive public money for campaigns rather than depending solely on contributions from individuals or businesses.
