Issue Position: Accountability

Issue Position

When elected officials betray the public trust our communities suffer, and our ability to use local government to be part of the solution deteriorates. Will believes that local elected officials must be beholden to ordinary people and working families, and reject insider corruption and pay-to-play politics. He will fight for strong new ethics laws to reduce the influence of money and special interests and uphold the highest standards of honest, accountable government.

What Will's going to do:

Push for stronger rules prohibiting legislators from voting on bills that could directly benefit their own financial interests and the interests of their immediate family

Limit the amount of money that political parties can donate to candidates

Put an end to legislative scholarships and other taxpayer-funded handouts that benefit only the clouted and connected
