Smith to Become FEC Chair
As expected, Brad Smith has been
elected the FEC chair, succeeding Ellen Weintraub who now becomes
vice chair. In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling in McConnell
v. FEC,
the actions of the agency are going to take on increasing importance
and be viewed with intense scrutiny in the coming months. Of particular
relevance is how the FEC will treat 527 organizations.
