diverse backgrounds can run for office.”

“Clean Money has been working in Arizona and Maine since 2000 and has made elected officials spend more time working on problems and issues that are important to voters.”

The League of Women Voters of California is an organization that encourages the informed and
active participation of citizens in government.
