Recipients Question Anne Arundel Council's Cuts to Public Campaign Financing

Recipients of Anne Arundel County’s public campaign financing program are questioning the County Council’s recent decision to cut funding from the program. The cuts have sparked debate about the county’s commitment to reducing the influence of big money in local elections.

James Kitchin, a candidate for County Executive running entirely on public financing, has been vocal about the importance of the program, arguing it is essential for ensuring that government works for everyday residents rather than corporate interests.
