In the wake of the announcements of ethics reform, a couple of incoming Democratic legislators are urging campaign finance reform as well. Sen.-Elect Kreitlow, a new member of the Senate Ethics Reform Committee and the incoming chairman of the Committee on Campaign Finance Reform, had this to say (among other things):
Our work, however, is far from done. As was seen all over the spectrum, special interest money is polluting politics in Wisconsin. I am eager to hold hearings on the public’s ideas for reclaiming our electoral system. Our government is founded on the principle of ‘one person, one vote,’ not ‘one dollar, one vote.’ We will work to give each person a more equal voice in Madison so that they don’t feel drowned out by better-funded and often anonymous special interest groups of all stripes.Rep.-Elect Jeff Smith said that the new law made him "hopeful it is indicative of what the new State Legislature is capable of in the new session."
