The Policy

Pass Prop D: Public Campaign Financing

Background

In Ann Arbor, 33% of campaign funds in the most recent election came from from outside of Ann Arbor. Concerned voters came together to form a group called Voters Not Politicians with a goal of reforming how money in politics works in Ann Arbor. 150 volunteers gathered enough signatures to qualify a measure for the ballot that would create a small donor matching program of public campaign financing, where donations under $50 to participating candidates would be matched 9:1 with public funds. This would be a game-changer for local politics, leveling the playing field for candidates and allowing the voice of voters to be heard over the influence of big money.

Who’s Involved?

Voters Not Money is spearheading the effort to pass Prop D on the ground.
