The chairman of West Virginia's Senate Judiciary Committee expects that legislation to create a Clean Elections system of full public financing for the state's judicial races will be introduced early next year. West Virginia has been debating what to do about its judicial selection process, and recent scandal over a judge deciding in favor of a donor to his campaign has spurred talk of reform.Full public financing of judicial races has been very successful in North Carolina and passed into law recently in New Mexico.  State Sen. Jeff Kessler (D) feels it's time to get going on a system of their own:"It would take justices away from what they hate most - raising money and campaigning," Kessler said."Their code of ethics won't allow them to take positions. Their hands are tied to begin with. This would help to eliminate the perception of the role of money in politics. I think the governor (Joe Manchin) would be supportive of something like that." With the cost of judicial elections skyrocketing, and more and more independent groups looking to exert their influence over them West Virginia certainly won't be the last state to look at a Clean Elections option to stop the madness.
