About The Coalition
The Illinois
Campaign Reform Coalition works to address campaign and ethical reform
in Illinois. The Coalition recognizes that public interest issues in Illinois
are impacted by who runs for office and who wins elections. These factors are
often affected by big money in politics and the lack of ethical standards in
government. The Coalition
is doing a petition drive, and we need your help.
