    The White House today nominated two people to serve six-year terms
    on the Federal Election Commission.

    The nominees are Lee E. Goodman
    <http://www.leclairryan.com/lee-goodman/>, an attorney at law firm
    LeClairRyan, and Ann Ravel <http://www.fppc.ca.gov/?id=58>,
    chairwoman of the California Fair Political Practices Commission.

    Goodman will be floated to replace Republican Commissioner Don
    McGahn, sources close to the nomination tell the Center for Public
    Integrity <http://www.publicintegrity.org>, while Ravel will replace
    Democrat Cynthia Bauerly, who resigned earlier this year.

It will be interesting to see if the FEC Republican Commissioners' 
resistance to enforcing campaign finance law vigorously changes with the 
departure of Don McGahn.

I could not think of a stronger candidate for the FEC than Ann Ravel, 
but it is a huge loss for the FPPC.
