Karen Bowes at the Colts Neck News Transcript talks to New Jersey Assemblywoman Amy Handlin who participated in the state's Clean Elections pilot project in 2005, and also participated in the committee that worked to make improvements to the project for the next cycle about her views on the system and proposed improvements. She's enthusiastic about the willingness of the legislature to look at ways to make the program stronger, rather than scrap it all together. Though she acknowledges not all the changes she would like to see have been worked into the proposal - which has passed the Assembly and is now being considered by the Senate - the next cycle of the pilot project will be much stronger than the last. Handlin also expresses her belief that running with public financing should be the natural choice of candidates in the state: “I can’t imagine anyone choosing to be dirty, or to be unclean, as opposed to being clean.”
