Kim on a Whim: Taxpayer Funding for Campaign Matching in Major Liberal Cities

In today's Kim on a Whim, we take a look at how taxpayer dollars are being used in major cities to match political campaign contributions. Following public campaign updates from Mayor Karen Bass's campaign, local match programs provide up to a 6-to-1 match using public funds. We break down the philosophical debate surrounding public campaign financing, questioning whether taxpayers should fund political candidates whose policies they may strongly oppose, and contrasting local public funding models with out-of-state political donations in key constitutional ballot measures.
