Thank you that is very flattering. I had considered running for Gov in 2014 - IF a lawsuit back then against Top Two elections had been successful, so that I could continue all the way to the General election. But it was not to be. So I ran for SoS in 2018 to oppose Top Two and call for its repeal

I support #SB42 which gives CA voters the ability to empower the state's General Law cities w/the option to enact public financing #cleanmoney programs for local elections. Such cities should also be empowered to enact #rankedchoicevoting if they wish

As a former candidate for California Secretary of State with a Democracy Bill of Rights Platform that included public financing of elections www.feinstein4sos.org , I endorse #SB42

SIGN THE PETITION for #SB42 the California Fair Elections Act to empower voters and fight Big Money by allowing public financing of campaigns anywhere in California!
