| Mission | With offices in Washington, DC and 35 states and 998,000 supporters and activists, Common Cause works to advance democracy reforms at federal, state, and local levels, through crafting model legislation, lobbying, public engagement, and joint efforts with diverse partners across the reform community. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | Voting and elections After Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed automatic voter registration legislation that Common Cause Illinois shepherded through the state legislature, Common Cause worked to revise the bill to address the governor's objections. The bill passed again with overwhelming bipartisan support in the spring of 2017. Responding to proposed legislation that would eliminate the Election Assistance Commission, Common Cause organized sign-on letters and encouraged state and local elections officials, military leaders and others to publish their own statements about the continuing need for the EAC. Supporters elected not to take the bill to the floor, so for now the agency is safe. Opposition from Common Cause Hawaii helped defeat a charter amendment on the November ballot in Honolulu County that would have removed the requirement of partisan balance on the county's citizen redistricting commission. We announced our opposition in a press release and an op-ed in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. The measure was defeated by 30 percentage points. Common Cause Rhode Island successfully lobbied for passage of automatic voter registration legislation, which the governor supported. The state will be the ninth in the country to add qualified residents to the voter rolls automatically when they do business with state motor vehicle offices. Rhode Island will extend automatic registration to additional state agencies once those agencies meet state standards. | Desc |

| Desc | Money and politics Prior to the election, Common Cause led a national "Who will fight big money?" campaign combining direct mail, online and press outreach to put candidates for Congress on record on a series of bills aimed at reducing the influence of big money in politics. More than 238 candidates Democrats, Republicans and independents answered our Who Will Fight Big Money? Questionnaire; more than 53,000 people visited our Who Will Fight Big Money? website. Common Cause members and supporters also sent more than 14,000 emails to candidates to demand they answer the questionnaire. Partners in the campaign included People for the American Way, Every Voice, the Center for Popular Democracy, Franciscan Action Network, and Friends of the Earth. Common Cause published a Democracy Scorecard (www.commoncause.org/issues/more-democracy-reforms/democracy-scorecard/report.pdf) charting the sponsorship or votes of House members on 17 bills and of senators on 12 bills introduced in the 114th Congress promoting democratic policies and practices. Inquiries to members of Congress about their sponsorship or co-sponsorship of the bills involved resulted in 250 additional co-sponsorships. California Common Cause secured passage of the Political Reform Act, removing a 28-year-old ban on public financing for statewide and most local campaigns. Signed in September by Gov. Jerry Brown, the bill clears the way for passage of public financing legislation for future California campaigns. Voters in Howard County, MD, a populous county between Washington DC and Baltimore, overwhelmingly approved a public financing ballot initiative led by Common Cause Maryland and partner organizations. Common Cause Maryland led several successful legislative campaigns on money in politics reform, securing passage of a bill defining and then banning coordination between independent expenditure entities and candidates, a bill mandating that participating organizations reveal their big money donors, and legislation banning donations of foreign money to ballot issue campaigns. California Common Cause led a successful campaign in Berkeley, CA on behalf of a ballot proposal creating a public financing program for local elections. The program will provide $6 in matching funds for every $1 participating candidates collect in donations of $50 or less. After lobbying by Common Cause Oregon, the City Council in Portland, OR voted to create a public financing program for local elections. The victory was particularly significant because local voters shut down a similar program in 2010. The new system has been adjusted to address problems in its predecessor. Common Cause New Mexico won passage of landmark bills increasing disclosure requirements for "independent" political donors and requiring more accountability from candidates who use the state's public financing system for Public Regulation Commission, state Supreme Court and appeals court elections. The New Mexico legislature passed a Common Cause-backed bill fixing the state's public financing system for election campaigns. Despite overwhelming support, the bill was vetoed by Gov. Susana Martinez. | Desc |

| Desc | Ethics, Transparency and Accountability in Government Common Cause Maryland secured passage of a resolution rescinding the state's call for a federal constitutional convention under Article V of the Constitution. Common Cause is leading similar efforts across the country to persuade states to defeat Article V convention proposals. The convention process is undefined and could result in a runaway convention that would fundamentally change our system of government. Common Cause New Mexico led a successful drive to persuade the state legislature to rescind its call for a constitutional convention under Article V. Common Cause New Mexico helped win passage of legislation that will amend the state Constitution to create an Independent State Ethics Commission. The commission will oversee the conduct of state officers, employees, contractors and lobbyists; it also will serve as a resource for officials to get guidance on issues and provide ethics training. The amendment will be on the ballot for voter approval in November 2018. Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Katherine Wade agreed to requests from Common Cause Connecticut that she recuse herself from state reviews of a proposed merger of health insurers Anthem and Cigna. Wade was a former Cigna lobbyist and the firm also employed her husband. Major legislation supported by Common Cause Massachusetts to add teeth to the state Freedom of Information Act took effect this year. The new law is the product of a four-year lobbying campaign by a Common Cause/ACLU-led coalition. Rhode Island voters overwhelmingly approved a Common Cause-backed amendment to the state constitution restoring the jurisdiction of the state Ethics Commission over members of the General Assembly. Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo signed a Common Cause-backed bill rewriting the state's lobbying laws. | Desc |
