By Peter Hardin
North Carolina became the first state, in 2002, to provide full public financing for judicial campaigns. This year, all 12 candidates in state judicial elections have stated their intention to participate in the public financing program, according to an article in Mountain Xpress, based in Asheville, N.C.
Kathleen Balogh, president of the League of Women Voters of North Carolina, lauded North Carolina’s 2002 Judicial Campaign Reform Act and said the law has inspired other states.
