Money should never be a barrier to running for office. Thanks to Fair Election Fund Commissioners Marietta English & David Mister for their commitment to helping level the playing field, empower a diverse group of candidates and strengthen our elections. bit.ly/3v1aqaG
We just released a report that analyzed campaign finance data for the 2022 elections in Howard and Montgomery County, evaluating the impact of their new systems for small donor public financing. pirg.org/maryland/found…
Our People-Powered Elections webinar takes place today! Come learn about the progress made throughout the state in support of public financing. We’ll be joined by @CouncilDeb who will share her experience using the Howard County program. RSVP to join us! bit.ly/md-campaign-fi…
Public financing creates more opportunities for women and people of color to have a fighting chance of winning elections. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
This month I joined a group of good-government advocates to sign Bill 25-23 into law, creating a public campaign financing system for future County Council and County Executive candidates.
Maryland voters – not corporate interests – should influence local priorities. As Anne Arundel County joins the growing list of MD counties with citizen-funded elections, let’s keep fighting to end the dominance of big money at every level of government.

Today was a good day in Anne Arundel County. Cheers to the advocates, activists, elected officials and their staff for years working to make the County the 6th in the state to establish small donor public financing! #FightBigMoney
So happy to have witnessed #FairElections become law in Anne Arundel County! @AACoExec
Excited to be in Anne Arundel County to join @AACoExec to sign small donor public financing into law! #FightBigMoney

I applaud the AACO Council for creating a small donor public campaign financing fund for local candidates. This will empower candidates and curb the influence of big money in our politics. Together, let's strengthen democracy and level the playing field. pirg.org/updates/anne-a…
If you live in Baltimore County and want to help break down barriers to participating in our democracy, apply to serve on the Fair Election Fund Commission. Commissioners will support implementation of the new public financing program. baltimorecountymd.gov/county-news/20…

Cheers to @AACountyGovt for becoming the 6th! Maryland community to establish small donor public financing for elections! This program will reduce the influence of big money in elections & empower small donors! @PeteSmithMD @allison_pickard @LisaRodvien @VoteforJHummer @AACoExec
Anne Arundel County just became the 6th jurisdiction in the state of MD to pass a #FairElectionsProgram 🥳So excited to have helped bring public campaign financing to my home county!
The bill passes 4-3!
Today, Anne Arundel County Council will vote on Bill 25-23. If passed, this will be the sixth local public campaign financing program established in Maryland! The vote will take place during their 7pm Council meeting. For details, visit aacounty.org/departments/co… #FightBigMoney
If Bill 25-23 were to pass, Anne Arundel would be the sixth jurisdiction to adopt a public campaign finance program! If you live in the county, urge your council member to support with a yes vote on June 5th. capitalgazette.com/politics/ac-cn…
I’m pleased to be in Anne Arundel County as the Council debates small donor public financing to reduce the impact of large and wealthy donors and enable candidates to spend more time building support in their communities instead of chasing big checks #FightBigMoney

.@AACountyGovt Council OKs Public Campaign Financing for Local Offices MACo coverage: tinyurl.com/2yu7mbzx #MDpolitics @AACoExec @PeteSmithMD #localgov #elections @MDCounties
Montgomery County voters deserve transparency in our local elections. But the “Progressives for Progress” PAC is misleading voters by pretending their pro-corporate-interests (and almost all white) slate of candidates are progressives. This is unconscionable. 🧵
Hello all! Due to inclement weather we have moved the day of action to Wednesday, July 13th at 5pm! RSVP here: bit.ly/AACoAction
Commentary: "Public campaign financing programs help shift power away from wealthy special-interest donors and toward voters. And [they] allow candidates from more diverse backgrounds ... to run competitive campaigns," writes Morgan Drayton. trib.al/CBTV0uf
We’re counting on the support of @OpelJones_HoCo @YungmannDavid @councilwomancmr @LizWalshHoCoD1 @CouncilDeb to ensure the program works as intended.
Thank you @LizWalshHoCoD1 for cosponsoring CB11-2022, ensuring the #HoCoMD Citizens’ Election Fund works as intended for both the primary and general election. Thank you for committing to support!
Tonight, 6pm! @HoCoCouncil will be going into quick emergency session just to introduce CB11-2022✨, an emergency bill making the all-agreed necessary technical correction to our local Citizens' Election Fund law. Public hearing, then vote, to follow Monday, February 7.

Thank you @OpelJones_HoCo @YungmannDavid @councilwomancmr @LizWalshHoCoD1 @CouncilDeb for collectively sponsoring emergency legislation to ensure the #HoCoMD Citizens’ Election Fund works as intended this cycle! We urge swift action with a unanimous YES vote.
#HoCoCouncil – EMERGENCY LEGISLATIVE SESSION – The County Council will hold an emergency Legislative Session tomorrow 01/26/22 at 6pm to introduce Council Bill 11-2022. You may view the session livestream via our Council webpage: bit.ly/3mUkWbC.
If you’re watching the council hearing, @OpelJones_HoCo is downplaying the importance of having the funds disbursed on time & doesnt think it credible that people have difficulty raising money. #HoCoMd #hocopolitics
In his 2018 campaign, Councilmember Jones raised roughly $20,000 in an uncontested primary alone. At least $7,000 of this was from developers including Howard Research Development and Erickson Living and of course the Maryland Building Industry Association.
He raised an additional $37,000 in the general election, nearly half of which ~ $17,000 was from the same special interests. From January 1, 2019 to May 15, 2020, he raised over $9,000 with one-third coming from special interest developers.
“Dark Money affects Federal, State & Local elections” We hope @HoCoCouncil & @HoCoGovExec remember to protect the integrity of HoCo’s Campaign Election Fund (CEF) #ReleaseHoCoCEFNow
Americans want limits on dark money spending. It's overwhelmingly popular no matter our financial status, heritage, zip code, & political leanings. Dark Money affects Federal, State, & even school board elections. #WeDreamOfVotingRights & Fair Elections #MLKDay2022 #DemCastFL
@councilwomancmr and @HoCoGovExec DID YOU KNOW… HoCo's Fin Dir Rafui Ighile DELAYED 2022 CEF due to a technical loophole. THIS DECISION MUST NOT STAND it jeopardizes integrity of CEF! SUPPORT EMERGENCY LEGISLATION TO ENSURE CEF IS AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY #ReleaseHoCoCEFNow

Creation of CEF was important step in cleaning up a campaign finance system that weighted political influence from Big Private Donators over the will of the community. Now the integrity of the CEF is in jeopardy! This Must Not Stand! Integrity over Politics #ReleaseHoCoCEFNow

There will be a public hearing for the bill which would resolve this issue if emergency filed on Tuesday, Jan. 18 at 7 PM, and you can sign up to testify here - hopefully we can apply enough pressure to make Rigby and the others change their minds cc.howardcountymd.gov/Calendar/Event…
Kittleman flopped on Public Election fun? I'd rather see current use of it and not taking special interest money, than Calvin Ball supporting it and cannot use it. That is the dangerous flip flop. Not to mention #freethefund
Thank you, @CommonCauseMD, @MarylandPIRG and the #HoCoMd Citizen Election Fund Commission! If @HoCoGovExec refuses your requests to direct his Department of Finance to reverse the withholding of CEF funds from qualifying candidates, I must vote for the emergency legislative fix.
Thank you @scotteblog for inviting us on this morning! We’re hopeful @councilwomancmr @OpelJones_HoCo @CouncilDeb @LizWalshHoCoD1 @YungmannDavid @HoCoGovExec will follow through on the CEF Commission request to pass this straightforward amendment via emergency legislation.
