Meeting recording of Public Ethics Commission Meeting on April 13, 2022
The Commission will hear from members of the Bay Area Political Equality Collaborative (BayPEC), which is presenting a proposal to amend Oakland’s campaign finance, public financing, and lobbyist registration laws under a broad reform measure called the Oakland Fair Elections Act, which will redesign Oakland’s system of public financing for Oakland candidates to expand public participation, diversify candidate and donor pools, enhance disclosure requirements for independent expenditures, expand the lobbying ban on former City officials from one year to three years, and other related changes. First formed in 2018, BayPEC is convened by California Common Cause and includes the ACLU of Northern California, Asian Law Caucus, Bay Rising, League of Women Voters – Oakland, MapLight, and Oakland Rising for the purpose of reducing the influence of big money and special interests in our democracy and lifting the voices of regular people. The Commission will review, discuss, and consider taking a formal position on the proposal.
