Clean Elections San Diego

Hi Everyone,
I hope you had a great summer. I certainly did! I thought it time to share with you where we are in this “long” campaign for clean elections reform for the city of San Diego.
.
First, you know already that we are targeting the 2024 presidential election year to put clean elections on the ballot. The reason we are targeting this election is because the biggest voter turnout is in presidential elections. That turnout is usually much larger than that of the mid term elections. That is why we skipped this fall 2022 election.
.
Since we are asking the San Diego City Council members to put our clean elections proposal on the ballot, we have had many positive conversations with most council members or their staff and we plan to follow up on this right up to the 2024 election.
.
We are now in the process of reviewing our clean measure to see if we can cut costs and ensure that clean money funds would be protected and secure from any scams. We have been in touch with clean elections oversight groups in Arizona and Maine, which have had clean elections since 2000, and they have shared with us how they protect their clean elections funds. Plus, we have asked for your input on this in the past and we have a number of suggestions to explore.
.
We have started a new project in sponsoring a monthly zoom meeting for neighborhood leaders with the goal of helping them work together. While this is a big time commitment, but we feel that it is important and that we have the skills to make it happen..
.
We are now exploring different ways to outreach groups and individuals about the value of clean elections, and here again, this is where we ask you for your input! .
.
We want your ideas and suggestions on any part of our campaign. Don’t be bashful Please send them to us.
