For Immediate Release
February 22, 2016 -- Campaign Finance Board Chair Rose Gill Hearn today issued the following statement in response to a letter from Common Cause/NY regarding the Campaign for One New York:
“The city’s campaign finance system was created to ensure that New York City’s elected leaders are responsible first and foremost to the voters, not to wealthy special interests. Citizens United and its aftermath have created some novel challenges, but the Board will always seek to protect this core principle to the full extent the law allows. The Board will review the letter thoroughly.”
