Rhode Islanders for Fair Elections Coalition
“Public Financing of elections can open the entire
political process to all Rhode Islanders. I commend Senator Rhoda Perry, Representative Edith
Ajello and Common Cause for their efforts to provide candidates with modest means an equal
opportunity to serve the public as their wealthy counterparts.”
—RI Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis
