Thanks @ChrisHoldenNews & @Rendon63rd for helping pass #SB1107 in 2016 to repeal ban on #PublicFinancing of campaigns. Please help ensure #AB270 by @alex_lee & @CACleanMoney gets out of Appropriations to let voters vote to ratify the will of the legislature and repeal the ban.
Public financing is now banned everywhere in #CA except charter cities. #SB24 & #AB270 would both put a measure on the Nov 2024 ballot to let voters repeal the ban, requiring instead that public financing laws meet basic standards of fairness & where the money can come from.
@nbcbayarea story says how #SB1360 w/ @SenatorUmberg & @BenAllenCA will be first law in nation to require online political image & banner ads to clearly show their top funders on the ad itself.
Together, we all made disclosure history again! 9/End

Thanks to the great coalition of public interest organizations who supported #SB1360#DisclosureClarityAct!
See coalition letter for why it's so important that voters be able to clearly see top funders of online ads, TV ads, & initiative petitions! ➡️https://t.co/nBeum9HCLV /8
@SenatorUmberg led on new #DisclosureClarityAct#SB1360, working w/@BenAllenCA & us on concerns while making online ads, TV ads, & initiative petitions clearly show top funders. That's why he's a #CleanMoneyChampion!
It passed Senate 33-4 & Assembly 62-10 - bipartisan votes! 6/
#SB1360 also ensures voters know they must be shown an "Official Top Funders" sheet w/top 3 funders before signing initiative, referendum, & recall petitions.
Circulators were required to show them w/#SB47#Petition#DISCLOSEAct by @BenAllenCA in 2019, but many weren't. ⬇️4/
