for a complete list of our election recommendations.

There’s no way to stop it. The U.S. Supreme Court has protected independent spending from limitations. Seattle has tried this for three election cycles now. The results: More people make campaign contributions, and those who do are much more likely to vote. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth trying in Oakland to see if it can fix the city’s dysfunctional politics. Voters should approve Measure W.

The city would allocate at least $4 million each election cycle for the program unless the city hits a budget crisis. Limits on how much each candidate could redeem would be based on the office sought. Vouchers could be redeemed until city funding runs out.
