People of the List, Usual Suspects, and Lurkers:
I would like to point out to everybody that I am an excellent
candidate for a position on the FEC.
I would follow the statute, as interpreted by the courts -- notwithstanding
the fact that I am pretty sure my position would itself be unconstitutional.
I would lard rulemakings and Advisory Opinions with unfortunate
puns. I would hire good-natured and friendly EAs.
I am not affiliated with leadership of either party, and after
moonlighting recently in other capacities I am confident that neither party has
much of a reservoir of goodwill saved for me. So that whole dynamic, to
the extent anyone cares, won’t be an issue.
I have no interest in competing for private clients after my
tenure. On the contrary, I promise to follow the lead of my idol, Lee Ann
Elliott, and flee to someplace warm at the earliest opportunity.
Allison
