Lea Webb
Lea Webb is the first African American elected to the City Council in Bhinghamton, in upstate New York.
Only 28 years old, she’s making a name for herself taking on progressive causes, one after the other.
Webb is calling for New Yorkers to press their state legislators on the issue of public financing of campaigns.
There is much concern about this cause now, especially since we know how campaign donors and their conduits milked state coffers in the form of pension fund investments.
Webb says interested New Yorkers must tackle this problem right away by signing notes to their elected officials demanding public financing.
Here’s a video of her making her case.
