A Call for Clean Elections Expansion in New jersey

Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 18:19

Citing a near complete lack of competitive legislative races in the state, the Blue Jersey blog makes the case for expanding New Jersey's Clean Elections pilot program.    "We need to expand our clean elections program and force our legislators to collect small dollar donations from their constituents.  Challengers need to have the access to the resources necessary to run a credible campaign without having a small fortune to their names.  This will attract more qualified candidates, more diverse candidates, and in the long run, a more well-rounded group of legislators in Trenton."   For the full story, click here.
