| CED Trustee Harold Williams with Senator Debra Bowen and CED President Charlie Kolb |
With generous support from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Foundation, CED hosted a campaign finance reform luncheon forum with The Greenlining Institute and the California Clean Money Campaign. Building on momentum achieved when the California Assembly passed legislation calling for publicly financed state and legislative campaigns, leaders of the state and national campaign finance reform debate met for this discussion on changing the way political campaigns are being financed.
The co-sponsors convened with key California reform proponents, including Assemblywoman Loni Hancock, author of the recent legislation; Senator Debra Bowen, Chair, Senate Elections, Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee, Bob Harris, Vice President of Environmental Affairs, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., and Robert Stern, President, Center for Governmental Studies.
Additional remarks were heard from A.W. Clausen, Chairman & CEO (Retired), Bank of America; Charles Kolb, President, CED; Ted Williams, Chairman, California Clean Money Campaign; John Diaz, Editorial Page Editor, San Francisco Chronicle; and Paul Turner, Senior Program Manager, The Greenlining Institute.
