Abstract:
A voluntary system of public financing is available for the first time to candidates for three of the Council of State offices. Part of a pilot program, public funding for these offices may not last beyond this year, but it is helping candidates run for office and reducing the influence special interests have on candidates. Candidates discuss the benefits of the program and how it has allowed them to run for office.
