Campaign Funds
Re your May 12 story on Matt Fong’s lack of TV advertising:
Quote: “Studies have shown that in nine of 10 cases in California, the candidate who spends the most money wins.”
Must huge sums of campaign funds be involved for Americans to elect their politicians? How do less affluent countries elect their politicians, anyway? Do campaign funds help make fairer play or breed social corruption? While the use of money may be the easiest way to get heard or recognized, is it the best and the only way?
