I support #SB42 which gives CA voters the ability to empower the state's General Law cities w/the option to enact public financing #cleanmoney programs for local elections. Such cities should also be empowered to enact #rankedchoicevoting if they wish

California voters may decide if cities can fund local campaigns with public money
The bill would not require cities to adopt public financing plans, Sen. Tom Umberg said, but rather give them the option to do so.

If you are not having a debate about enacting legislative elections by proportional representation to enable a viable multi-party democracy in the United States -- so that all positions win their fair representation in office -- then you're not actually having a real debate. #electoralreform

California's minor parties are filling suit against the "top-two" system, arguing it violates the 1st and 14th Amendments

There's also a growing coalition to replace top-2 with a proportional representation system (Learn more: @prorepcoalition.bsky.social)
