CITIZENS for ELECTION REFORM was formed in Hartford in 2004 to fight for a voluntary system of public funding of campaigns for statewide office in Connecticut. Since the successful enactment of Connecticut’s Citizen Election Program in 2005 we have turned our attention to helping citizens in all states who are working to achieve similar benefits.  >        Please click on “The Connecticut Success Story” (see menu on left) to learn about             the most comprehensive statewide public financing program now in effect. >       To learn of campaign reform developments in your state, click on           “CFR: State by State” (see menu on left). >       To learn more about how you can be involved, click on “The Activists’ Perspective”           (on your left). >        To link to the web addresses of other reform organizations, see “Links” (on your left).
