Overview
This grant would support mobilization of citizens in New Hampshire around the issue of campaign finance reform. New Hampshire remains the location of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, and as such offers a high-profile, highly leveraged venue to help inform the agenda for the presidential race. The goal of this work would be to elevate campaign finance reform as a key issue in the next presidential election by getting each presidential candidate stumping in New Hampshire to answer one key question: "How are you going to end the corruption in Washington?". Through organization of an annual "political reform" walk in each of the three years leading up to the primaries, coordination of citizen engagement and introduction of relevant resolutions in Town Meeting Meetings, and cultivation of an online community, this grant is intended to help educate the public and motivate demand for campaign finance reform.
