An attorney who helped launch the successful challenge to the cap on individual campaign contributions recently decided by the Supreme Court has filed a new lawsuit challenging limits on contributions by traditional political action committees (PACs) that contribute to candidates (Stop Reckless Economic Instability Caused By Democrats (Stop Reid) v. FEC, E.D. Va., No. 14-397, filed 4/14/14).
Attorney Dan Backer of DB Capitol Strategies filed the new case April 14 in federal district court in Alexandria, Va., on behalf of a PAC called Stop Reckless Economic Instability Caused By Democrats (STOP REID). The suit names the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as defendant.
