Lowers campaign contribution limits for state legislative candidates

to limit the influence of big money and lobbyists in state government.

• Established new campaign contribution limits for General Assembly candidates— $2,500 for state senate, and $2,000 for state house.
• Limits the ability of individuals and organizations to circumvent caps by counting money from single-source committees towards totals for original, actual donors.
• Stops legislative fundraising on state property.

Ensures that neither political party is given an unfair advantage when new maps are drawn after the next census

by asking a nonpartisan expert to draw fair legislative district maps, which would then be reviewed by a citizen commission.

• Added fairness and competitiveness as required criteria for new district maps
• Protects the political power of minority communities against vote dilution
• Asks an independent state demographer to lead on technical work in creating district maps, instead of entrusting political appointees to do all of that work
