“Top Republican Lawyer Presses FEC To Limit Enforcement Actions by Staff”

Bloomberg BNA: “A veteran Republican election lawyer and former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission is pressing the FEC to adopt limits on agency staff efforts to enforce campaign finance laws. The development comes as the commission continues to debate possible changes to an enforcement manual for FEC’s Office of General Counsel (OGC). A letter supporting the proposed limits on FEC staff was sent Aug. 19 by Thomas Josefiak, who served on the commission in the 1980s and now works with the private law firm Holtzman Vogel Josefiak PLLC, representing Republicans and conservative organizations before the FEC. Josefiak’s firm has represented some of the biggest Republican-leaning political groups active in recent elections, including American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, which spent a total of more than $176 million to help Republicans in the 2012 election.”
