Jodi Rell on Government Reform Republican CT Governor

Ban on campaign cash from special interests

Toughest in the nation campaign finance reform: Governor Rell demanded that the General Assembly pass tough, real reforms of our campaign finance system - including bans on campaign cash from special interests. The changes are considered a national model.

Living those reforms--now. Although many of the campaign finance reforms won’t take effect for statewide offices until 2010, Governor Rell is already living by standards that are stricter than required by the law. Governor Rell’s campaign is not accepting contributions from lobbyists, political action committees or anyone who negotiates, develops or signs a state contract.
