Discussion Group Report: Campaign Finance, Matt Brix, Brad Winter, Andrew Montgomery

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

Campaign finance' laws cover the manner in which money is raised, spent and reported by candidate committees, political action committees, political parties and independent expenditure groups. This report will examine existing laws in New Mexico, potential problem areas in those laws and options for amending current laws. The real or perceived influence of money on the political process creates an inevitable tension between the right to free speech on the one hand, and the established norm of one person, one vote on the other. Existing laws governing campaign finance in New Mexico focus on reporting requirements, limits on campaign spending, …

Subcommittee Report On Campaign Finance, Andrew Montgomery, Barbara Brazil, Justin Miller, Jim Noel, Hilary Tompkins

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

New Mexico is one of a minority of 13 states that do not limit most campaign contributions.

This report details several options for the Task Force's consideration, as well as the subcommittee's recommendations. In the 2005 Campaign Disclosure Project — Grading State Disclosure Report, New Mexico received a grade of F for its campaign disclosure …

Subcommittee Report On Gifts, Suellyn Scarneccia, W. Ken Martinez, Matt Brix

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

The giving of gifts to show ones appreciation is a valued tradition in New Mexico. However, the giving of gifts to public officials by persons financially interested in their official actions may have a corrupting influence. A clear statutory bright line definition as to when gifts are not acceptable, beyond the current quid pro quo standard, would provide a necessary foundation for effective regulation of lobbying and campaign finance. A clear definition would also make it easier for both public officials and citizens to comply, and thus increase the publics confidence in its government. This report reviews some options for …


Subcommittee Report On Public Financing Of Campaigns, Matt Brix, Dede Feldman, Stuart Bluestone, Stewart Udall Jun 2006

Subcommittee Report On Public Financing Of Campaigns, Matt Brix, Dede Feldman, Stuart Bluestone, Stewart Udall

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

Broadly speaking, the Ethics and Campaign Reform Task Force has been assembled to develop constructive methods for removing the adverse effects of money on the political system and improving public confidence in the integrity of state government operations. There probably is no single more effective way to achieve this broad mandate than to remove the influence, access and problems due to political campaign contributions by having New Mexico join the leading vanguard of states and municipalities that provide public financing of elections. Not only would public financing help remove the real influence of money on the political process, it would …
