Welcome to the 1991 City Council General Election Voter Guide
This is an important election year for all New Yorkers. Recent changes in the City Chaner, approved in 1989 by the voters, have increased the number of City Council districts from 35 to 51. The purpose of the redistricting was to make the City Council more representative of the City's many diverse communities. This means that this year you will he electing a Council member for a different and smalier district. The new Charter, among other things, also gave the City Council greater powers over the City's budget and land use. These changes make it even more important that voters have the chance to make informed choices abollt who their City Council representatives will be. This Voter Guide is intended to cia just that. Il is an 'impartial sOllrce ofinfonnation about the Council candidates, puhlished hy the New York City Campaign Finance Board, an independent, non-partisan New York City agency.

The Prograrn has several important goals: to lessen the influence of big money on local e1e<..1ions; to control campaign spending; to give serious candidates a fair chance to nm for public office; and to provide voters with more' and heuer infonnation about candidates' campaign finances than ever before.

More Infonnation'" This year New Yorkers are choosing new City Council members. It will be a vcry importam election ix:c:.lllse the City Council has new powers. These powers include powers over the New York City budget and over how land is lIsed in New York City. 111C New York City Campaign Finance Program heirs ensure that voters in this City have competitive, democr.llic local dcctions to choose City officials. In ~I nut"hdl. the C:'lInpaign Finance ProgrJI11 is abollt having less money and more information involved in City elections. "I.es..'> money" means decreasing the influence of big money and special i.nwresls on candidates. Candidates who choose lO join the VoluIlw.ry Program must limit the size of contributions they accept and limit the amount of money they spend on the elections. l11ese Iimit'i help ensure that c~lnditbtes do not accept large amoll!1ts of money ju!'!t from a few wealthy people or groups. "More information" mean!'! making more information avail ahle to voters about who is paying for candidates' campaigns, Candidates who participate in the Campaign Finance Progmm file detailed public reports. 111ese report... give information alXJtH contributors to the candidates' campaigns, and they show the voters how much money the ca,ndidates have been given by those conuiblltors, and how much the candidates have spent on their campaigns. TIle reports are made public by the Board, and candidates' campaigns are audited by the Board, so that the public and pres,',; can know exactly who b giving what to whom. This Voter'Guide is another way in which '~more information" aoout the candidates is now available to voters through the Campaign Finance Homd. By joining the Program, candidates are telling Ne\v York voters that the,,! support fairer, niore open, and more democratic local elections free from the influence of big money, In return for mnning their campaigns under the Program's rules, candi dates can also receive public funds that match smail contribu tions they receive from New York City resident", The matching funds make it easier for citiZens who are active in their communities hut who don't have connections to wealthy contributors, or who are not wealthy themselves, to nm for public ofi1ce. It also makes smaller contributions from a larger number of local residents more important to candidates, POI' this year's City Council campaigns, candidates who have joined the Campaign Finance Program can accept no more than $3,000 from anyone supporter for the whole campaign, including the Primary anQ. General Elections. TIley can spend only $105,000 for the Gener.li Election, Contributions from New York City residents can he matched lip to SI,OOO. Loans and contributions from organizations or non-residents are not matchable, The Campaign Finance ProgrJm began with the 1989 New York City elections, It is run by the New York City Campaign Finance Board, Candidates for the offices of mayor, City Council president, comptroller, borough preSident, and City Council member may join the ProgrJm. This year, voters will only be selecting Council members, Elections for the other offices will be held in 1993. As YOll read this Guide, you will be able to find out which candidates jOined the Campaign Finance Progmm. At the bottom of-their statements, it says: "Candidate participati'lg in NYC Campaign Finance Program." 111e Campaign Finance ProgrJI11 helps give every New Yorker 1l1ore tnlst in local government by lessening the importance of big money on campaigns, by giving the public more information about campaign financing, and by giving allseriolls candidates a fairer chance, CAMPAIGN FINANCING 13 NOTES 14 THE CANDIDATES A Word About the Candidates' Statements, TIl is section has a list of the candkbtcs (~111C Cmdidatcs at a Glance") nmning for each Council District.

Entre estas St' (,Hema la de elahorar d presupucsto del municipio y b rclativa al llsn de terrenos en Ia ciudad de ~lIc\'a York. EI ProgrJJ11a de Financiamienro Electoral del ~'lunicipio de Nueva York sirvc para garanrizarquc los votantc.s dceste municipio puedan e1egir fUI1cionarios llluI1icipales en unas eleccioncs dCITIocr;J{icas de caracter comrctitivo a nivel local. En fXlcas pahihrJ.s. eI ohjetivo del Progr:.tIll:l de Financiamiento Electoral cs m:'is infonnaci6n con meno.s dinero en las decciones Illunicipalcs. Arreglarse con menos dinero equivale a mcflnar la infllfcncia dd gran dinero y los inrereses particulares en los aspiranres a cargos pllhlicos. Los candidatos que opten par udhcrirse 31 Program:.! volumario tienen que Iimitar la cuamia de las aportaciones que acepten y limitar asimismo la cuanria de los gastos elector-des. Dichm; Hmitcs contrihuyen a gar-mtizar que los candidatos sc :Ihstengan de ,Kcptar cU:.Inriosas sumas dt.! dinero de manos de lInos cuantos individuos 0 gnlpos acaudalados. Mas infonnaci6n significa poner mas informaci6n a disJXlsici6n de los elcctort.!s :lCcrca de quien sufrJ.ga los gasros electorales de los candidatos. Los candidatos participantes en eI Programa de financiamiento Electoral prcsentan informes Pllhlicos detallados. Estos infonncs proporcionan datos sabre apollaciones de fondos para SlL'j campar1:ls e1ectorales. del'laran a los votanres cuama dinero han dado las fut'ntes dt' esas apoI1aciones a los candidatos y cllamo gastan cstos en sus campanas. La Junta publica los informt's y practica :ludirorias de las campanas de los candidaws para que tamo el pllhlico como la prensa puedan dcterminar quicn da que a quicn. Por eI hecho de adherirs'e al ProgrJrna, los candidalOs dan a cntender a los vorames de Nueva York que e1los son panidarios de que se celebren lInas e1ecciones municipales m:l.s Iimpias, m:ls ahienas, m{l.s democraricas y Iilxes de la influencb del gran dinero. A (:amnio de conducir sus campanas ateniendose a las reglas del Programa. los candidatos tambien podnin recibir fondos Pllblicos para iguular Ius pequenas apartaciones procedentes de vecinos del Municipio de NUl;::va York. La igualaci6n de fondos da mayores facilidades a los ciudadanos acrivos en la dedicaci{m a los asuntos pllhlicos en la respectivJ localidad pero sin vinculaci6n alguna con contribuidores adinerados 0 carcntes de medios propios parJ poderaspirar a un cargo puhlico. Asimismo haee que las pequenas apoI1aciones de lin mayor n(lInero de vecinos de la localidad revistan mayor imrxlI1ancia parJ los candidatos. Para las campaJias de concejaies de este aiio, los candidatos que participen en el Progr"l.Ina de Financiamiento Electoral no poddn aceptar de cada simpati7..ante individu,al mas de $3.000 parJ.
