Create matching public funds for small donations and lower contribution limits

Warren proposed a public-financing program that would provide a 6-to-1 match for contributions under $200, funded by penalties from corporate misconduct and major tax crimes. She also proposed lowering individual contribution limits to $1,000 for campaigns and $10,000 for political parties. She said the changes would encourage candidates to spend less time seeking large donations and more time with ordinary voters.

Context: The proposed matching-fund program would be funded by penalties from corporate malfeasance and major tax crimes.

In their own words

give a 6-1 match for small dollar contributions, less than $200.
