I applaud Gov. Gregoire! This is a great first step towards providing public financing for all election campaigns in Washington State.

Clean Elections in Washington

Gov. Christine Gregoire has announced her plan to push for legislation that would provide public financing for judicial races in Washington. Public financing for judicial elections is an important step in removing the undue influence of special interest money on Washington’s judicial elections. Public financing of judicial campaigns allows candidates and sitting judges to seek office without courting contributions from parties to the cases that come before them.

Send a letter to the governor thanking her for her efforts to pass Clean Elections in your state.

For more information on public financing of campaigns in general, you can visit the PBS Now website on Votes for Sale.
