Elections:
campaign finance revisions
Our Position: oppose
Bill Number: SCR1013
Sponsor: Huppenthal, Leff, Barnes, et al
Legislative Session: 2006 Legislative Session
The Strike Everything amendment on SCR1013 would not only repeal the Clean Elections law, but would also blow the lid of campaign contributions to the candidates who do not run as clean elections candidates. In a 38-page strike everything amendment, the legislature is proposing to allow individuals to contribute up to $5,000 in the primary and another $5,000 in the general election. That is more than what is allowed for federal races. The current Arizona limits are $760 for statewide races and $296 for legislative races. The last thing the public wants is for big money to have even more of an influence on politics.
Status
This measure is unlikely to be referred to the ballot. There is a lot of opposition to it and I don't think they will take the time to try and craft a compromise.
Action Needed
No action is needed. The bill is dead and the session is over.
