New York States candidates for the legislature in 2012 raised 74% of their money from donors
who gave them $1,000 or more, and from interest groups. Only 8% came from donors who gave
$250 or less. The balance between the states small versus large donors was almost the same in
2012 as in 2010 and 2008.

Until now, big donors have dominated the Empire States politics, said CFIs Executive Director
Michael J. Malbin, who is also a professor of political science at the University at Albany (SUNY).
This study shows that making small donors the linchpins of candidate financing would come at
a very low cost when compared to the benefits.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has recommended that the state reduce candidates
dependence on big donors by adopting a system of small-donor matching funds similar to New
York Citys. The city provides $6 in matching funds for each of the first $175 that a donor gives
to a candidate participating in its voluntary system. (Gov. Cuomo also proposed lower
contribution limits, improved disclosure, and strengthened enforcement.) Assembly Speaker
Sheldon Silver has reintroduced a bill from previous years that would provide six-for-one
matching funds for a donors first $250, with lower contribution limits. While the details of this
proposal may change, and the Senate and Governor may put forward their own proposals, this
one is a sound basis for analysis.

CFIs previous studies of New York have shown that matching funds could have a profound
effect on the states election financing. The first was a broad peer-reviewed policy analysis in
Election Law Journal (link). The second showed that small donors would likely be responsible for
a majority of the candidates funds under a small donor matching system [link]. A third [link],
published jointly with the Brennan Center, showed that New York Citys system brings a far
more diverse pool of donors into the system than traditional fundraising. A fourth showed that
the percentage of New York population giving a contribution in any amount is among the
nations lowest (link). Finally, this study is a revision of one previously published that was based
only on data from 2010 (link). The results based on 2012 data are virtually unchanged.
Most of CFIs earlier studies focused on the potential benefits of small donor matching funds.
This one addresses concerns about two of the potential costs. It shows, first, that the financial
costs have been vastly overstated. Second, it shows that almost all candidates for the state
legislature would be better off with public matching funds replacing high contribution limits
than they are with the status quo.

FINANCIAL COST
Perhaps the most controversial claim is about financial cost. For example, the Senates
Republican Leader, Dean Skelos, referred in 2012 to the cost of a public matching system as

being $200 million per election or $100 million per year. In contrast, the Campaign Finance
Institutes recently completed analysis suggests the cost would be more like $26-$41 million per
year. To arrive at these estimates, CFI assumed the matching fund formulae and contribution
limits of the Silver bill and applied them to the actual donors in the elections of 2010 and 2012.
The CFI analysis assumed that all donors who gave in each election would continue to give the
same amounts under the new system but only up to the new contribution limit. To average
the cost between a gubernatorial and midterm election, the analysis includes one election for
statewide officials (2010) and two elections for the legislature (2010 and 2012). It then assumed
four different scenarios, represented in the table below. The two variables producing the four
scenarios have to do with the rules for contested primaries, and the presence or absence of new
donors in the system.
The Silver bill would allow higher contribution limits and more public funding for a candidate
who is challenged in a primary election than for one who is not. This results in two pairs of
scenarios. For one, we assume a status quo in which only the few candidates who were actually
challenged in 2010 and 2012 would continue to be challenged under the new system. Under
the other scenarios, we assume a substantial increase in primary challenges. By definition, this
assumption would mean that the rules were bringing new candidates into the system.
Obviously, we have no idea how many these might be. (Many incumbents presumably would
still be unchallenged.) If we assume arbitrarily and generously that half of the current
candidates would face a primary challenge under the new rules, we can estimate the cost by
treating all of the existing general election candidates as if they would be covered the under
rules for contested primaries. This should produce overly high estimates of the new programs
cost.
Second, any estimate will be sensitive to the number of donors assumed. The table includes
two estimates of the number of donors. Under one, we calculate that only the donors who gave
in 2010 and 2012 will continue to give under the new system. This produces a low estimate for
the cost of public matching funds. The second assumes the programs incentives successfully
bring new donors into the system. To put a dollar figure on this, we make the optimistic
assumption that each candidate doubles the number of his/her donors, with each new donor
giving $50.

Table 1. The Cost of a Public Matching Fund System for New York State Elections

Assumption: all candidates ask for and
receive public funds up to the maximum
allowed for one contested election, usually
the general election. In addition, for

162,373,570

$2.08

The above table shows the CFI estimate under each of the four scenarios. If no new donors are
brought into the system, the cost would be $26 million - $30 million per year. This would
average to $1.34 - $1.55 per person per year. With new donors, the cost would be $33 million
to $41 million per year. Under these more expensive scenarios, therefore, the average cost for
each of New Yorks 19.5 million residents would be between $1.70 and $2.08 per year, with the
higher figure including generously optimistic assumptions for both of the key variables.

HOW THE CANDIDATES WOULD FARE

Under the Silver bill, candidates would lose some of their current money because the
contribution limits would be lower. But they gain money from the new public matching funds.
Incumbents who are asked to vote for such a program obviously would want to know whether
combining the two provisions would leave them with less money to compete. As the following
summary table indicates, almost all Assembly candidates would have ended up with more
money, not less. So would most Senate candidates, but the number for the Senate would
depend upon the final bills contribution limits.
The bill as introduced would impose $2,000 contribution limits on any candidate for any state
office, but this would be doubled for candidates facing two contested elections (a contested
primary as well as a general election). The bill also would impose a limit on the maximum
amount of matching funds that a candidate could receive. That limit was $150,000 per election
for the Assembly (or $300,000 combined for two contested elections) and $350,000 for the
Senate (or $700,000 combined).
The following table mixes and matches the two provisions, showing how many candidates
would have been net losers if all candidates had operated under the higher or lower
contribution limits, with the higher or lower public funding cap. It shows the results with the
actual donors of 2012, and with a doubling of the money from small donors.

As the table shows, the bill provides adequate public funds to assure that almost every
Assembly candidate receives at least as much by substituting small donor matching funds for
large contributions. The bill is not as finely tuned for the Senate. By imposing the same
contribution limits for all offices, the bill would have left more than one-quarter of all Senate
incumbents (ten Democrats and six Republicans) with less money under the proposed system
than under the status quo. Most challengers and candidates for open seats would be ahead;
only two would be behind.
To address this, the bills sponsors might want to vary the contribution limits across offices. The
current Silver bill has the same limit for Assembly, Senate and all statewide offices. This need
not be so. In 2011-12, thirteen states had the same limit for all offices, but nineteen had higher
limits for statewide officials and six (including New York) had different limits for statewide office
and each of the two legislative chambers. (Twelve states allowed unlimited contributions.)
New Yorks Senate districts are approximately twice as large as its Assembly districts. One
possibility might be to make the contribution limits for the Senate twice that of the Assemblys.
The Senates current limit is about 2.5 times the Assemblys. A $4,000 limit for the Senate and
$2,000 for the Assembly would still be about half of the current limit for each chamber. If the
Senates limit was $4,000 instead of $2,000, almost all Senate candidates would find it
advantageous to combine the new limits with small donor matching funds.
