LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD

Citizens from across the political spectrum have come together to level the playing field in primary elections through the Campaign for Primary Accountability’s Equalizer Campaign. The Equalizer Campaign gives voters the facts they need to make informed decisions. Incumbents usually have a “message monopoly” during primaries; they raise more money (mostly from lobbyists and special interests) and use those funds to tell voters all of the “wonderful” things they have done. But they never speak of the earmarks, pay raises, junkets and generalized corruption that have infected politics in Washington, D.C.

Our goal is to bring true competition to our electoral process, to give voters real information about their choices, and to restore fair, not fixed, elections.
