Her opponent, James E. Theis, did not answer the Clean Money questionnaire.
I care about the California DISCLOSE Act and Clean Money ... and I vote! |
They are running for Board of Equalization District 2.
The California Clean Money Action Fund asked all candidates for state office in California to answer six questions about whether they support legislation for more disclosure on political ads and public financing of campaigns.
While not answering the survey, James E. Theis indicated that he he does not complete questionnaires that do not directly address the duties and authority of the office he is running for (the Board of Equalization), despite having some sympathy for Clean Money issues.
"No Answer" means the candidate didn't answer the questionnaire after our attempts to reach their campaign several separate times through email or by phone.

* The wording of this question created some confusion about its intent. The intent was to ask about funding of public campaign finance for state offices with a tax or fee that averaged $8 per person, an investment in the integrity of our elections that is less than one-third of 1% of California's General Fund this year. However some candidates responded to the question as if it were proposing an additional flat tax of $8 to be paid by every Californian. Due to the confusion the wording of this question created, its answers were not scored and did not count towards the overall score for the Clean Money Survey.
