    SM ALL DONOR MATCHING FUNDS: THE NYC ELECTION E XPERIENCE Angela Migally Susan Liss Foreword by Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr. Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution – part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group – the Brennan Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector. ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER’S DEMOCRACY PROGRAM The Brennan Center’s Democracy Program works to repair the broken systems of American democracy. We en- courage broad citizen participation by promoting voting and campaign reform. We work to secure fair courts and to advance a First Amendment jurisprudence that puts the right of citizens – not special interests – at the center of our democracy. We collaborate with grassroots groups, advocacy organizations, and government officials to eliminate the obstacles to an effective democracy. The Democracy Program’s Money and Politics project works to reduce the real and perceived influence of special interest money on our democratic values. We serve as con- stitutional counsel to the Fair Elections coalition, promoting public financing for congressional and presidential elections. Project staff also defend federal, state, and local campaign finance, public finance, and disclosure laws in courts around the country, and provide legal guidance to state and local campaign finance reformers through counseling, testimony, and public education.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. THE NEW YORK CITY MODEL: ESSENTIALS FOR EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REGULATION Nicole A. Gordon* In the interest of full disclosure, I think it should be made known that Judge Trager bears some responsibility for the state of campaign finance reform in New York City, as he was a member of the New York City Charter Revision Commission when this topic was under consideration. It is therefore a double pleasure for me to be here today at the inaugural Public Policy Symposium established in his name. I. "WILL ANYTHING WORK?" From my point of view, the title of this forum, "Will Anything Work?" is somewhat ominous for two reasons. First, it probably accurately reflects the general sense of helplessness that the public feels in reaction to endless stories of scandal arising from the influence of private money on politics. It is not exactly a secret that the federal system has collapsed, and the daily barrage of revela- tions has an almost numbing effect, leaving people with the feeling that the situation is hopeless.' Second, I think the title fails to convey the fact that there are actual success stories in the field of campaign finance regulation.
