Public Campaign works to bring publicly funded elections to local, state, and federal elections. Already, seven states and two cities have some form of publicly funded elections.
Based in Washington, DC, Public Campaign was founded in 1997. Nick Nyhart, the organization's president, is known across the reform community for his years of grassroots experience and dedication to Clean Elections reform.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or campaign:
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
