League of Women Voters advocates for California campaign finance reform via Proposition 4
What happened
The League of Women Voters of California advocates for Proposition 4, known as the California Fair Elections Act. This measure would lift the near-total ban on public campaign financing, allowing municipalities to create voluntary programs that prioritize small donations.

Why it matters
The advocacy addresses a system where wealthy special interests and large donors have spent over $300 million to influence state contests. The League argues that this power imbalance allows large donors to distort democracy and amplify their voices.
