Anne Arundel Council to Redirect $1.25 Million from Public Campaign Fund

The Anne Arundel County Council has moved to redirect $1.25 million from the public campaign finance fund, raising concerns about the future viability of the program designed to reduce the influence of big money in local elections.

The public campaign finance system, established by Bill 25-23 in 2023, was designed to empower community voices by matching small-dollar donations from county residents.
