Course correction

Article Abstract:

Political consultants in California are increasingly working for interest groups rather than for political candidates. Proposition 208 severely restricted legislative candidates' fund-raising capabilities by placing a ceiling of $250 on individual donations, so financial support has transferred to the interest groups. Interest groups have also become the stable forces in politics since term limits created a greater turnover of politicians, and they are increasingly seeking a more active role in campaigns.
