Sign The Petition to Support Clean Elections in WV

Show Our Legislators There Is Grassroots Support For Clean Elections!

The coalition – WV Citizens for Clean Elections – is sponsoring a petition drive to demonstrate that the citizens of our state want to change the way our Delegates and Senators are elected. The West Virginia Environmental Council has been a long-time member of this coalition. We want a more diverse field of qualified candidates to have a fair shot at being elected - without being beholden to special interest donations. Public campaign financing is working in Maine, Arizona, North Carolina, and other states, and better public policies that work for all the voters is a result! You can be involved by signing the petition and telling your friends about this campaign. We plan to collect as many signatures as possible to present to Legislative leaders as we push for passage of the Public Campaign Financing Act during the 2009 legislative session!
