Here’s why this is important:

Public campaign financing is one of the most effective ways to support a greater diversity of candidates to be able to run for office – and a more diverse pool of candidates fosters a more diverse group of elected leaders who come from the communities they serve and share the experiences and challenges of ordinary Floridians.

Voters across the political spectrum agree that there is a problem with money in politics. Repealing laws and constitutional provisions that combat this problem would be a step backward.

Common Cause is committed to ensuring that our democracy works for everyone, not just a select few –and public campaign financing programs are part of making that a reality. Floridians should vote no on Amendment 6 and tell the legislature to improve our public campaign finance program instead.
