III. Information about the City's Dark Money Ordinance and What It Means

Santa Clara implemented its Dark Money Ordinance in 2018 to shine light on where the money is coming from in local elections. Why is this important? Clean elections demand all campaign contributions and expenditures in municipal elections be fully and truthfully disclosed so voters are fully informed about sources of contributions for or against city candidates or local ballot measures. It's the law to file for these expenditures, and Santa Clarans deserve clean, fair elections.
