2. Would you be in favor of county-wide campaign finance regulations that would provide for public matching funds, limit campaign contributions and provide for more disclosure? State your opinions on these ideas; whether you would support or oppose them.

I wound not favor public matching funds for any campaign at the county level or lower. It is not necessary to use public assets for this purpose. I do not see a need to limit contributions at this level either, but I also do not oppose one. I believe that simplifying the system would allow more involvement at the local level
