AZ Clean Elections Institute
AZ elected “clean” candidates to seven of nine statewide offices in Arizona -- including Janet Napolitano, the first publicly financed governor ever elected.
Leah Landrum, a member of Arizona's House of Representatives, sums it up:
"Now the only interests I'm tied to are my constituents. And they feel a lot more connected to me. My constituent calls have tripled."
Maine Citizens for Clean Elections
The Maine Clean Election Act had its first run in 2000, with candidates for State Senate and House both using the new program for the first time. The results were that half the Senate and 30% of the House members were elected without any special interest money. In 2002, those numbers rose to 77% of the Senate and 55% of the House. Clearly, Clean Elections was working.
