Chair Shana M. Broussard lists five critical issues that have been submitted as legislative recommendations by unanimous agreement of the FEC in previous years. Namely, (1) Establish a threshold for reporting conduit contributions to enable greater transparency; (2) Extend the foreign national contribution prohibition to include (i) contributions in state and local elections and ballot initiatives and (ii) knowingly helping or assisting a foreign national in violation the prohibition; (3) Protect contributor address information from public disclosure, specifically a contributor’s street name and number, in light of security threats; (4) Increase contribution limitations, thresholds and exemptions, which have not been indexed for inflation since 2002; and (5) Expand the fraudulent misrepresentation prohibition to cover misrepresentation conducted by all persons and organizations, not just federal candidates and their agents.

Creme colored opened box on a table. The left side of the box has a black matted political cartoon of the first "gerrymandered" election district. The right side of the box has four black square printing blocks that compose the printed cartoon on the left.
My team and I had a great time viewing the printing blocks used to press the original "Gerrymander" map cartoon at the Library of Congress - the best field trip for campaign finance nerds!
