“Public Financing of elections can open the entire political process to all Rhode Islanders. I commend Senator Rhoda Perry, Representative Edith Ajello and Common Cause for their efforts to provide candidates with modest means an equal opportunity to serve the public as their wealthy counterparts.”

—RI Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis
