In a recent article in the Pasadena Star-News California Clean Money Campaign President Trent Lange expounded on the California Fair Elections Act and discussed the current system’s impact on everything from the state budget crisis to affordable health care.  “Under our current money-driven system, elected leaders in Sacramento are forced to spend countless hours dialing for dollars when they should be addressing the challenges we're up against. The pressure to raise money too often overwhelms their ability to do the job voters elected them to do, tainting the policy-making process.""From finding real solutions to the state's budget mess to creating jobs to ensuring affordable health care and addressing climate change, our problems are too big to have our leaders' focused on fundraising. The California Fair Elections Act represents the change voters want and the reform California needs.”
