| Description | "Trenton - Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, Chairwoman of the Democratic State Committee, announced on Monday the designation of the 6th Legislative District as one of the two "Clean and Fair Elections" districts for this year's Assembly contests.
"By reducing the role of money, we are taking another step to increase public confidence in the election process," stated Assemblywoman Watson Coleman. "The low-dollar contribution limits will help get more people of modest means involved in the political process."
Both Assemblyman Louis Greenwald and his running mate, Pamela Rosen Lampitt, have publicly expressed a willingness to participate in the pilot program. New Jersey is the first state to enact clean elections by an act of the Legislature. New Jersey is the third state to provide for publicly financed legislative elections, joining Arizona and Maine."
