HB-120 passes the NC House, opening the door to more local public campaign financing.
Thank you for making a difference — and can you take a moment to thank your NC House Representative?
Dear Advocates & Friends,
Thank you so much for taking action on HB-120: Public Municipal Campaigns. The bill allows cities with over 50,000 residents to sponsor their own public campaign financing programs for their local elections.
The bill passed the NC House by a 60-56 vote and your phone calls and emails were absolutely crucial to its passage. Thank you! It now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
We want to ensure the continuing support of legislators for Voter-Owned Elections, especially since the Council of State VOE expansion bill, H-586, is coming up in the House later this session. Please take two minutes of your time to let your NC House representative know you were watching their vote on HB-120: just click here.
(If you aren’t sure which way your representative voted, you can check the final vote here.)
Many thanks for your help! If you have any questions, please call Democracy North Carolina at (919) 286-6000.
Sincerely,
Your Democracy North Carolina Team
