Denver could pay out $8 million in public financing for the next municipal election. Read all about it.
"I was one of the primary proponents of the Fair Elections Fund prior to becoming a candidate because I recognized how impossible it was under the status quo for regular grassroots candidates like myself to compete against big money and corporate interests," says CdeBaca."For too many years, the soul of our city has been at the mercy of those who can afford to sway an election.
"I think what this law will do is candidates will not have to spend as much time raising money and spend more time talking to voters than they did in the past. At least, that’s our forecast," says Andy Szekeres, campaign finance administrator in the Denver Clerk and Recorder's Office. His work on the Fair Elections Fund, like the hours of other Clerk and Recorder staffers working on compliance, will be covered by the fund.
And since both at-large Denver City Council seats are being vacated by term-limited members Robin Kniech and Debbie Ortega, those races are also likely to generate a lot of interest — and could further drain the fund. Incumbents, too, are looking at the Fair Elections Fund.
