How Connecticut’s Citizens’ Election Program Works

Connecticut’s Citizens’ Election Program (CEP) is one of the strongest clean-election systems in America. Instead of campaigns funded by special interests, lobbyists, or PACs, participating candidates qualify for a public grant by proving one thing: genuine support from the people they want to represent.

Here’s how it works for Lisa’s campaign:

To qualify, Lisa must raise a set amount in small-dollar contributions — between $5 and $340 each — including at least 150 qualifying contributions from residents right here in the district. No corporate money. No PAC checks. Just neighbors.

Once that threshold is met, the campaign receives the full public grant to run the race. That’s why your contribution is worth far more than its face value: a $25 or $50 gift from a district resident isn’t just $25 or $50 — it’s a qualifying contribution that helps unlock the entire grant.

What this means for you:

• Your small contribution has outsized impact — it’s the key that opens the grant
• The maximum any individual can give is $340, so no donor buys influence
• Lisa answers to the 133rd District — not to Hartford party bosses or special interests
• Every dollar is disclosed and regulated by the State Elections Enforcement Commission

This is exactly what “People Before Politics” looks like in practice: a campaign powered by neighbors, accountable to law, and free to represent only you.
