Progressive Democrat Issue 37: NEW JERSEY FOCUS
Support Young Candidates Running 'Clean' Elections
As reported from Democrats 2000:
Several weeks ago, the 6th and 13th Legislative Districts have been selected to participate in the Clean and Fair Elections Pilot Program. Under this program, candidates in these districts are required to collect 1,000 contributions of $5 and 500 contributions of $30. Upon the collection of these contributions, candidates will be eligible for public financing based on the amount spent on previous legislative races in those districts.
Similar to our successful strategy of assisting candidacies through small financial contributions, Democrats 2000 is proud to support this program. The support of our members will help to ensure the success of the Clean Elections Pilot Project and will play a large role in determining whether or not it is continued and expanded in future campaigns. Through 'clean' elections, more young candidates will have the opportunity to run for elected office.
We are also proud that two of the candidates selected to participate in this program are Democrats 2000 members Assemblyman Lou Greenwald and Michael Dassaro.
Assemblyman Greenwald, 38, is currently seeking his 6th term in the General Assembly. As Chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, Assemblyman Greenwald has gained a reputation for working hard and getting the job done, playing a key role in crafting the State's budgets while contending with multi-billion dollar deficits left over from the Republican Administrations of the 90's.
Michael Dasaro, 32, is an accomplished attorney running for public office for the first time. Believing that "it is no longer acceptable to pit old against young when we have the resources to treat everyone fairly," as an assemblyman Michael will be committed to bringing integrity back to government and reforming the property tax system for all New Jersey residents.
Candidates in 'clean' district can only accept 'qualifying contributions' from voters within their district and can not accept donations from Political Action Committees. However, candidates can accept 'seed money' contributions from voters throughout the State.
Democrats 2000 members living in the 6th or 13th Legislative are encouraged to make 'qualifying' contributions of either $5 or $30 to either Assemblyman Greenwald of Michael Dasaro. These contributions must be accompanied by a contributions form which can be obtained by emailing Democrats2000@aol.com.
Democrats 2000 members not living in the 6th or 13th Districts can support the efforts of Assemblyman Greenwald and Michael Dasaro by making a donation of any amount to their campaign which will be applied toward 'seed money'. 'Seed money' contributions should be made payable to either Lou Greenwald- Clean Elections or Michael Dasaro- Clean Elections. These contributions can be mailed to Democrats 2000, P.O. Box 31, Jamesburg, 08831.
