The Fair Political Practices Commission was created in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal by Proposition 9. The agency investigates and enforces California election rules designed to provide transparency and accountability during campaign season, with the goal of giving voters essential information before they cast a ballot. This week the FPPC is launching its AdWATCH program, where the public can submit questionable political ads for review.
FPPC Chair Alice Germond joins Insight to overview how the commission is monitoring the 2018 campaigns.
