Federal Election Commission Meets to Choose Leaders

WASHINGTON, DC - July 10: Chairman Donald F. McGahn during the meeting of the Federal Election Commission to elect a chairman and vice chairman. The panel chose McGahn to be chairman, and Democrat Steven T. Walther to be vice chairman. The Senate on June 24 approved by voice vote Republican Matthew S. Petersen, the most recent addition to the group; Republicans Caroline C. Hunter and Donald F. McGahn; and Democrats Cynthia L. Bauerly and Steven T. Walther. Democrat Ellen Weintraub remains as a holdover. That gives the FEC a much-needed quorum to deal with a backlog of work built up during the months it was short members. Priorities for the group include new disclosure rules for lobbyists who bundle campaign contributions, requests for matching funds and certifying public funds for the general election, said FEC spokesman Bob Biersack.
