The influence of big money on politics has undermined American Democracy at the national, state, and local level. Today, wealthy elites and businesses have a disproportionate impact on who runs, who is elected, and what issues are debated. ProGov21's updated Election Finance Roadmap outlines campaign finance reforms that can be uptaken to ensure voters have equal say in local elections. Recommendations include publicly financing local elections, setting campaign contribution limits, and enacting campaign contribution disclosure legislation.
