of the matter, there are those who claim that the financing of campaigns from private sources is an infinitely preferable state of affairs to the alternative of public campaign finance.
This point of contention is so central to the electoral process in the United States that it merits a great deal of attention and scrutiny. This paper will explore the
issue of campaign finance in the current political climate, using the San Francisco Mayoral race of 2011 as a key example. Through pointing out how public campaign financing has changed
