PROP 4 11 26
The measure was endorsed by California Democratic Party, California Working Families Party, League of Women Voters of California, ACLU of California, California Common Cause, and Represent.Us. Sen. Ben Allen (D-24) said, "The California Fair Elections Act is all about trying to improve our Democracy and elections. Public financing programs serve as a tool to lessen the power of big money, expand opportunities for more people to run for office, and allow candidates to focus more on voter appeal instead of donor appeal."[5][6]^
The California Taxpayers Association opposes the measure. David Kline, Vice President of Communications and Research for California Taxpayers Association said, "People when they pay taxes want to pay for schools, fire departments, libraries, roads, that sort of thing. The last thing they want to pay for is a negative political ad that is going to hit them on the radio or T.V. during election season."[6]^
