In previous emails, we pulled back the curtain on why Americans want
campaign finance reform

and we compared the difference in Arizona's candidate donation limits

for state, federal and the Phoenix City Council. This may be why people
believe there is pay-to-play in government.

Let's pull back the curtain on how much money a Phoenix City Council
candidate really needs for a campaign.

Tempe and a Phoenix City Council district have approximately the same
amount of people they represent and campaign to. It stands to reason the
amount of money they need is approximately the same.

The Phoenix City Council candidate raised and spent four times more than
the Tempe City Council candidate. The disparity in individual donation
limits is one reason for the difference (Tempe, $540 individual donation
limit. Phoenix, $6550 individual donation limit).

The Phoenix City Council candidate total does include receiving
approximately $48,000 in special interest money, which is almost the
amount the Tempe City Council candidate raised for their campaign.

Tempe and Phoenix City Council candidates both won but it was the Tempe
candidate who was the fiscally responsible winner.

I crunched the numbers, and a fiscally competent Phoenix City Council
campaign should cost no more than $80,000.

There are candidates who raised $100,000 and even $250,000 and they
continue to ask you for donations. They are using your dollars for their
vanity metric.

I am a business owner with 34 years' experience. I assist my clients
in growing their business while staying within their budget. As your
Councilwoman I will protect your hard-earned tax dollars.

You know the "business as usual" politicians and their friends are
not happy I am pulling back the curtain to expose the secrets of money
in politics. They don't want a level playing field.

Will you chip in now and support financial integrity? Don't let big
money or the backroom deal politicians pick your elected leaders. I'll
send you our KNOW BETTER VOTE BETTER sticker to show my appreciation for
your support.

Stay tuned for future emails as we continue to pull back the curtain on
local politics.

Thank you,

Joan Greene
