A proposed ballot measure by San Diego Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera has advanced before the San Diego Rules Committee. The measure aims to limit the influence of lobbying and Political Action Committee (PAC) money in local government. It would require real-time disclosure of lobbying on city policy, ban city lobbyist campaign contributions to officials they lobby, and disclose “shadow campaign” disclosure requirements. Additionally, it may require self-funded candidates to disclose the extent of their spending and independent expenditure advertisements to list their top five funders. The proposal will need to be reviewed by the City Attorney's Office before it can be placed on the November ballot.
