The Campaign Legal Center is pleased to announce a series of staff promotions and new hires as part of a management restructuring of the organization in response to continuing growth and the conclusion of a strategic planning review. Lawrence Noble has become General Counsel and Paul S. Ryan and Tara Malloy are now Deputy Executive Directors of the organization. All three have been lawyers for CLC for several years, but will now formally be part of the Senior Management team.
“These changes to our management structure will make us still more effective as we face the challenges ahead in our field,” said Legal Center President Trevor Potter. “Since the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in Citizens United and related decisions as well as a continuing failure of the FEC to do its job due to increased deadlocked votes, our work has expanded rapidly. We have seen federal, state and local campaign finance laws challenged from coast to coast in the courts and have assisted in defending many of these. Our reorganization and the influx of new and talented staff will allow us to face these challenges and articulate desirable new reforms even more effectively.”
“We are very fortunate to have the veteran attorneys on staff to allow us to undertake this reorganization and to do so seamlessly as we also welcome talented new lawyers and staffers to the Campaign Legal Center,” said Campaign Legal Center Executive Director J. Gerald Hebert. “The challenges ahead in the fields of voting rights and campaign finance are significant but we are confident that our growth and reorganization positions us to meet these mounting challenges.”…
