I worked alongside other Reform Party members (and a coalition which included The League of Women Voters, AARP, and UWSA) to get prop. 208 on the ballot and passed. We achieved a stunning victory -- the Campaign Finance Reform initiative passed with an overwhelming 61% majority in 1996. In 1996, I also ran for Congress on the Reform Party ticket and experienced first hand how the political system favors incumbents.
