John Edwards has announced his One Democracy Initiative, which in includes full public financing of campaigns, aka clean elections.
"Provide Full Public Financing in Congressional Campaigns: There is no public financing for congressional races, favoring candidates who are incumbents, have personal wealth, or have strong support from the wealthy and their corporate interests. Edwards will create full public financing for House and Senate races. Candidates who raise a certain number of $5 contributions will receive equal public financing and air time, while additional "fair fight" funds will help candidates facing self-financed campaigns and independent expenditures. States with these models-like Maine and Arizona-have reported more political accountability and candidates from more diverse backgrounds. [BrennanCenter et al, 2007]"
