Committee of Seventy

Acerca de Committee of Seventy

The fiercely non-partisan Committee of Seventy fights tirelessly for better government in the region by striving to involve more citizens in public life, promoting greater competition among candidates and parties, and making sure that our public officials are held accountable. To keep its voice independent, the non-profit Seventy does not accept government funding, nor does it endorse candidates. Seventy is unencumbered by special interests. It speaks freely and uses its reputation as an honest broker to: • Educate citizens on how government can work better; • Fight for the best use of taxpayers' dollars, calling attention to government misconduct and wastefulness; • Monitor and work to ensure fair and well-run elections; and • Advocate for efficiency, transparency and ethical behavior from public officials and all branches of regional governments. Seventy is the only independent, non-political organization of its kind in the region pursuing these goals.
