Standing up for government accountability and fair elections, House members voted 106 to 30 for the override and preserved the Citizens’ Election Program. The Senate had voted 23 - 12 to override the veto on August 5th.A Win for Good Government!
Thanks to all of your activism and hard work, the House of Representatives heard the message loud and clear that the people of Connecticut want the Citizens’ Election Program to continue now and into the future. Candidates for office in 2010 and beyond can rely on a system of campaign finance reform that works and the people of the state can look to a state government that represents their interests, not just those of special interests.
