　　One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（競選）finance reform（改革）. The people who are

　　1

　　for reform usually want the 2

　　to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates（候選人）and their 3

　　can spend.

　　for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 5

　　money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 6
