Make California's elections about ideas, not money. Right now, big donors have too much influence in our elections. The California Fair Elections Act (SB 42) would let Californians vote in 2026 on whether we can use public funding of campaigns outside of Charter cities, so candidates can focus on people, not special interests. But before voters get their say, a key committee in the Assembly has to move SB 42 forward. Tell your assemblymember now: elections should be won, not bought. Sign the petition to put SB 42 on the ballot: tinyurl.com/sb42ca

The CA Fair Elections Act (SB 42) would allow public campaign financing beyond Charter cities — and now it's in the key Assembly Appropriations Committee.

Your support matters to get SB 42 out of committee and into voters’ hands.
