A task force convened by the state agency in charge of enforcing the California Political Reform Act is recommending the creation of a digital archive to track online advertisements promoting candidates for state office.
In a report released this week by the Fair Political Practices Commission, task force members say a public database of digital ads would help voters, researchers, journalists and others keep better track of campaign spending by state office seekers.
“California voters should be able to easily find out who is responsible for each ad they receive and a state-run ad archive would provide this,” said Richard C. Miadich, the commission chairman.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced a lobbying ban for his paid political advisers, after weeks of criticism over his close ties to consultants who also work for corporate clients and other influential interests at the state Capitol.
In a memo shared by the governor’s office, Newsom’s chief of staff, Ann O’Leary, announced a new ethics policy Friday barring any of his paid campaign or political consultants from directly lobbying the governor, his staff or state agencies under his control. Newsom also committed to not hiring any registered lobbyists as paid consultants.
