The kick off election cycle was 2008, and in that year and ever since, at least 74% of all candidates choose to participate in the system of public financing, called the Citizens&rsquo; Election Program.  So, has public financing really made a difference?  The answer is a resounding, YES!  So why are state Democrats proposing to kill the program?  That is completely unclear, but leadership has proposed cutting $11.7 million from the Citizens&rsquo; Election Fund, effectively wiping out Connecticut&rsquo;s public financing program.","featured_image":null,"article_type":1103,"authors":null,"related_issues":[137,2082],"related_work":false,"location":null},"sidebar":{"helper_enable_sidebar":false,"helper_media_contact":{"heading":"Media Contact","manually_enter_person":false,"person":null,"name":"","role":"","phone":"","email":""},"helper_links_downloads":{"heading":"Links & Downloads","links":null}},"page_layout":[{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Noong 2005, ang Connecticut General Assembly, na hinimok ng matinding pagsisikap sa pagtataguyod ng katutubo, ay pumasa sa unang komprehensibong sistema ng pampublikong financing para sa mga halalan ng estado sa bansa. Ang kick off election cycle ay 2008, at sa taong iyon at mula noon, hindi bababa sa 74% ng lahat ng kandidato ang piniling lumahok sa sistema ng pampublikong financing, na tinatawag na Citizens&#039; Election Program. Kaya, may pagbabago ba talaga ang pampublikong financing? Ang sagot ay isang matunog na, OO! Kaya bakit ang mga Demokratiko ng estado ay nagmumungkahi na patayin ang programa? Iyon ay ganap na hindi malinaw, ngunit ang pamunuan ay nagmungkahi ng pagputol ng $11.7 milyon mula sa Citizens&#039; Election Fund, na epektibong nagwawasak sa programa ng pampublikong financing ng Connecticut.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Matapos maipasa ang Programa sa Halalan ng mga Mamamayan, ang mga kandidato na hindi konektado sa mga naitatag na makina ng partido, o hindi indibidwal na mayaman, ay maaaring tumakbo para sa opisina at \u2013 hangga&#039;t nagtatag sila ng antas ng threshold ng suporta sa kanilang komunidad \u2013 tumakbo sa isang mapagkumpitensyang karera.  Sa dalawang ikot ng halalan bago ang Programa sa Halalan ng mga Mamamayan ay pinagtibay, ang bilang ng mga pangunahing humahamon sa mga karera ay isang matatag na 6%. Kaagad pagkatapos ma-access ng mga kandidato ang mga pampublikong pondo upang tumakbo para sa opisina ng estado, ang bilang na iyon ay tumalon sa 9% noong 2008 at nanatili sa pagitan ng 9 at 11% mula noon. Kasabay nito, nagkaroon ng pagbaba sa bilang ng mga walang kalaban-laban na kandidato \u2013 mula 23% noong 2006 pababa sa 19% noong 2012. Pinakamahusay na gagana ang demokrasya kapag tumaas ang partisipasyon!&nbsp;<\/p><p>OK, so competition has increased &ndash; has that actually made a real difference in people&rsquo;s lives?&nbsp; Well, again &ndash; yes.&nbsp; As part of this new campaign finance law, the entire way that candidates raise money to run for office has changed.&nbsp; Lobbyists can no longer bundle donations, or donate to candidates at all during the legislative session. State Contractors and their family members can no longer contribute to state candidates at all. So races are funded by ordinary people giving $5 - $100 so that candidates can qualify for a state grant &ndash; enough to wage a competitive race.&nbsp; This is particular has afforded the chance to get elected to state office to a unique group of people &ndash; young ones.&nbsp;&nbsp; Earlier this year, a bipartisan young legislators caucus was formed by 20 legislators under 40 in order to address issues of particular concern to young people in Connecticut.&nbsp; Most of these young legislators would not have had the wealth or connections to run for office before the Citizens&rsquo; Election Program.&nbsp; Yesterday, a group of these young legislators collaborated on a letter to leadership asking that the Citizens&rsquo; Election Program be preserved without suspension or funds removed.<br \/><br \/><em><strong>\"As members of the Young Legislators Caucus, we are deeply concerned by the recommendation of suspending the historic Citizen's Election Program...for the 2016 election cycle,'' Rep.
