Help elect Jeff to Council!

Thank you for considering contributing to the campaign to elect Jeff Rainforth to City Council in District 3!

Jeff has opted for Public Matching Funds. Jeff believes that when making decisions for the city, it should not appear that those decision were improperly influenced by contributions given by any individuals or organizations. Jeff believes that all sides have a stake in Sacramento's future including residents and businesses. Jeff believes that all sides should be fairly represented by any decisions that he will make if he is elected to city council, and that those decisions be based on what is best for the residents and those who do business in Sacramento.

How matching funds work: When contributions reach $7500, the city kicks in a matching $7500. The city will match up to $35,200 in contributions.

Only contributions of $250 or less are eligible to be counted towards the matching fund. The limit for contributions by individuals is $1500, although only $250 of that amount will be counted towards the matching fund threshold.

The city of Sacramento states the reason for the availability of public matching funds as:

The increasing amounts of expenditures in political campaigns have forced many candidates for elective office to raise larger and larger sums from individuals or interest groups with a specific financial stake in city matters. This can cause the public perception that the votes of city council members and decisions of elected officials are being improperly influenced by monetary contributions. Such a perception can undermine the credibility of the city council and the governmental process."

Jeff concurs with this statement.
