Governor Newsom signs bills curbing billionaire influence on elections and protecting elections from interference
What you need to know: Governor Newsom signed two new laws to strengthen California's democracy - giving local communities the power to create publicly financed elections and cracking down on schemes that try to buy or manipulate voter participation.
SACRAMENTO - Governor Gavin Newsom today signed a pair of bills into law protecting elections - focusing on keeping dirty money out of California's democracy and no "sweepstakes" from billionaires seeking to buy elections.
"California is the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy. Right now, our founding ideals and values are being shredded before our eyes in Washington D.C., and California will not sit idle. These new laws further protect Californians' voices and civic participation in what makes our state and our country great."
Governor Gavin Newsom
