Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) on Public Financing

Submitted by Monica Rober on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 17:56

Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) talks health care and public financing in a recent interview on The Huffington Post."I would add that I think another important element not only to making good policy in health care, but to making good policy in all areas is if we were to move at the Federal level to a public financing type of program for campaigns. Then voters would look at how their candidates raise money and say they're not beholden to anyone but me and that would be very refreshing. That's a political debate that may be as tough as getting universal health care, but one worth having."
