Campaign finance reform at the local level! I voted to support a proposal to limit campaign contributions to candidates for the Corte Madera Town Council to $500 per donor. This proposal was designed to prevent donors with more money from exerting undue influence on elections or "buying influence" with candidates, while effectively requiring that successful candidates for Town Council have a broad base of support among the community. Special thanks to Planning Commissioner Phyllis Metcalfe for working with Town staff to develop this proposal!
