Campaign Finance Reform: Victory
Watch our video documentary below to see how we did it!
The League’s Campaign Finance Reform Action Group works to educate elected officials and the general public on the influence big campaign donors and allies have on public policy because St Pete is NOT for sale. It also worked to pass an ordinance that banned super PACs and limited foreign investment in our local elections. We accomplished that goal on October 5, 2017. The ordinance went into effect on January 1, 2018.
An additional objective now is to ensure effective implementation and enforcement of that ordinance. We will also work with other Leagues in their efforts to further Campaign Finance Reform.
