The promise to get money out of politics has propelled several San Jose politicos to office. Actually implementing corporate-free elections is tougher.
Councilmembers and local activists are pushing for a way to level the playing field for contributions through publicly-financed elections.

The idea is it encourages participation from everyday residents and reduces reliance on corporate or wealthy donors.
