Wisconsin Campaign Finance Laws Critiqued Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 02/21/2007 - 11:38am.
The Brennan Center for Justice has released a report pointing to deficiences in Wisconsin's campaign finance law, and making a series of suggestions to improve them including developing a campaign donation matching fund program to aid candidates facing better-funded opponents, implementing stricter contributions limits for both individuals and PACs, and regulating issue advocacy advertisements more strictly.
The Brennan Center, which defends campaign finance regulations in court and offers advice and counsel in formulating campaign finance laws, has most recently leveled sharp criticism at New York's campaign finance laws. You can read more on their work here. Reply |

Meet Your Candidates posted by Katie Schlieper on 08-28-2008 This is an interesting story on the campaign strategies of three Republicans competing for a state House seat, two of whom are running with Clean Elections funds. Notice the story opens up with one candidate walking door to door to talk to voters -- there's Clean Elections for you! Published in: Arizona | Clean Elections Next Up, New York? posted by Katie Schlieper on 08-27-2008 Depending on how the state legislative elections results shake out in New York come November we could be looking at much improved odds for passing a Clean Elections bill there in the coming year. New York Governor David Paterson (D) is certainly a supporter of Clean Elections, if not the most outspoken on the subject, and state activists are keeping up the drumbeat for movement on legislation -- see this letter to the editor in Binghamton. Published in: Clean Elections | New York Not This Time posted by Katie Schlieper on 08-27-2008 I'm sorry to report that Alaska's Clean Elections ballot initiative did not pass yesterday -- in fact, on the primary ballot where both Sen. Ted Stevens (R) and Rep. Don Young (R) faced primary challenges none of the ballot initiatives got much love. But as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. This is only the beginning of Alaska's fight for Clean Elections. Published in: Alaska | Clean Elections | Don Young | Ted Stevens Creative Commons
