Tuesday’s Political Law links are here

KLOBUCHAR FOCUS.  WP.  “Sen. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), who is among the Democratic senators talked about as a potential 2020 presidential candidate, said much of her questioning of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch would focus on his rulings on campaign finance laws.”

MT:  SHERIFF FINED.   BDC.  “Missoula County Sheriff Terry ‘T.J.’ McDermott will pay a $936 fine as a result of a campaign complaint.”

PA:  MORE FROM EX-TREASURER.   TI.  “Under questioning by a sometimes-combative Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Consiglio, McCord acknowledged that he had taken various steps or made various offers to help campaign contributors, or potential contributors, violating the law.”

WV:  LIMITS CONSIDERED.  CG.  “The Senate Judiciary Committee looked over a bill Monday that would increase campaign donation limits in West Virginia elections and decrease some disclosure requirements.”


ISR:  SUPER PAC LAW.   JP.  “The law defines different stages in which an organization is required to report to the state comptroller the cost of its elections-related activity. It also limits the funding of such organizations during the elections period and determines that a breaching of the law is a criminal offense – as stated in the Party Funding Law.”
