Simply put, the demographics of Clean Elections small donors are substantially different from those of big donors to privately funded campaigns. They tend to be more ethnically and geographically diverse. They come from neighborhoods where people have lower incomes and more modest homes. Because Clean Elections candidates “owe” their elections to this more diverse group, many people believe they are more likely to feel free to pursue policies while in office that benefit the general public rather than a small set of big money donors.<br /><br /> </p> Tue, 27 May 2008 13:29:07 +0000
