Campaign Finance Board Executive Director Amy Loprest testified yesterday before the Maryland Commission to Study Campaign Finance Law regarding the city's campaign finance program.
"The New York City Campaign Finance Program amplifies the voice of the average, low-dollar contributor and reduces the influence of big-dollar contributors. The result has been less potential for corruption and a remarkable broadening of participation in the electoral process. At a time when voter turnout is low and voters everywhere are increasingly cynical about government, we’re very proud that people from around the country are looking at our Program as a model for reform."
The full testimony is available on the agency's website.
