Santa Fe Campaign Committee Discusses Ethics and Social Media Impact on Elections
Board members expressed concerns that the current regulations may not adequately address the evolving landscape of political campaigning, especially with the rise of social media as a primary platform for candidate outreach. Discussions emphasized the importance of ensuring free and transparent elections, with members noting that traditional campaign signs are now supplemented—and sometimes overshadowed—by digital platforms.
In response to these challenges, the board proposed the formation of two subcommittees: one focused on ethics and the other on campaign regulations. This structure aims to facilitate thorough research and discussion, allowing for the development of proposals to be presented at future meetings. The urgency of these discussions was underscored by the upcoming election cycle, although members acknowledged that significant changes might not be feasible before the new officials take office in January.
Public input was also welcomed, with a county commissioner urging the board to consider existing regulations from other jurisdictions to enhance local campaign rules. The board plans to reconvene in November to continue its work, with hopes of refining the campaign framework in time for future elections.
As the board moves forward, the implications of these discussions could reshape the political landscape in Santa Fe, ensuring that campaign practices remain relevant and effective in a rapidly changing environment.
