A lack of office space is impeding the launch of NY state's new Public Campaign Finance Board, which proponents say will make the state a leader in campaign finance reform, empowering small dollar donors by matching their contributions with taxpayer money.
conducted by the Brennan Center on the city’s campaign finance matching system has shown increases the diversity of donors and expands participation in the campaign finance side of elections to more than a concentrated number of deep-pocketed donors.
There are some promising signs emerging from Albany about the initial investments into the program. Hochul included $10 million in her budget to fund the matching program, and an additional $3.2 million for staff and technology. “This is a project that is being coordinated with multiple agencies due to its scope and complexity. Necessary resources have been identified, and OGS is actively working to coordinate construction and renovation,” said John Brill, a spokesperson for the state’s Office of General Services.
A spokesperson for the state Board of Elections said space issues would not delay the launch of the program, but also indicated that the issue had not been entirely resolved.
