Clean Money Campaign Joins Huizar Campaign Finance Reform Forum

Special Forum on
"Campaign Finance Reform: Where to Now?"
Hosted by L.A. Councilmember José Huizar


City Hall 1Money 1Supreme Court 1


March 4, 2010
Experts predicted the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission will change the way campaigns are financed and now we have the proof. Just last month, the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission announced a ban has been lifted on the use of corporation and labor treasury funds for express advocacy in our elections.

Learn more about this new development and other issues like full public financing of elections at a special forum on campaign finance reform this Thursday, March 4th here at City Hall. A handful of experts and thought leaders have been secured and there will be audience Q&A at the end of the program.
