Philadelphia Fair and Clean Elections Pledge
"I pledge that, if elected, I will support a comprehensive Fair and Clean Elections system for Philadelphia, like those found in several states and cities, that will level the playing field, reduce spending on elections, and end the conflicts of interest caused by campaign contributions. I will work to enact full public funding for qualified municipal candidates who agree to take no or little private money, making Philadelphia a national leader in ethics and campaign finance reform."
