""Dark money is political spending on election advertising by anonymous sources. It is called ""Dark Money"" because we can't see who's sponsoring the messages in political ads. Under current Arizona law, rich power brokers get special treatment and unduly influence elections by secretly spending money on advertisements and promotions supporting their candidate or ballot proposition. This ""Dark Money"" bombards voters with negative ads, misleading information, and even outright lies. Because we don't know who's paying for the advertisements, ordinary people don't have the information they need to figure out whether it's credible or not. It's like my grandmother used to always say… ""According to whom?"" Well, with Dark Money dominating our elections, we can't answer that question for ourselves. Proposition 211 will fix that."" - Will Humble, Former Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services (2009–2015), in support of Proposition 211 (Learn more)
""This is a common-sense issue that has strong support among Arizonans regardless of political party because we all benefit from transparency in our elections. Dark money allows wealthy donors--many of whom are out of state--to have an outsized influence on our state and local elections with no accountability. This law will not prevent anyone from donating to support candidates or ballot measures, but it will allow voters to see where major funding is coming from, thus allowing us all to make more informed choices on Election Day."" - Michael Rulon, in support of Proposition 211 (Learn more)
""In effect, Prop 211 is designed to target citizens whom the drafters of the measure do not like, simply because they have beliefs and values with which they do not agree. They want the names of private citizens so that they can doxx, harass and cancel them in their communities. And they intend to use their friends in Big Tech and the Corporate Media (which are exempt from this initiative) to aid them in their quest. We do not need another unconstitutional law on the books that will only make cancel culture worse. Vote No on Prop 211."" - Scot Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, sponsored by Arizona Free Enterprise Club, in opposition to Proposition 211 (Learn more)
"Don't let the title fool you; this initiative is about bullying some citizens out of campaign involvement. Proponents of the "Voter's Right to Know Act" would like you to think deep pockets on only one side of an issue or one party are funding campaigns. In truth, folks on all sides exercise their free speech rights by contributing to campaigns with which they agree." - Cathi Herrod, President of the Center for Arizona Policy Action, in opposition to Proposition 211 (Learn more)
