Repeal campaign contribution limits and change election spending rules
In Plain English
Richmond currently limits campaign donations from developers seeking city permits and provides matching public funds for local candidates. City staff says these rules backfired by pushing more money into independent political action committees that face no restrictions. If approved, candidates can again accept developer donations and spending limits change for publicly funded campaigns.
