Add your name to tell the Senate to confirm a FEC nominee who will enforce the law.
“The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has long been dysfunctional, and has been effectively shut down for over 8 months due to a lack of commissioners. Now the Senate wants to confirm FEC nominee Trey Trainor — but that will only make matters worse. Trainor is the wrong choice for the FEC because he does not support common-sense enforcement of our nation’s campaign finance laws. The Senate must only consider individuals who will uphold their constitutional oaths and enforce anti-corruption laws.”

John,
Today, the Senate Rules Committee will consider the nomination of Trey Trainor to the Federal Election Commission, likely clearing the way for a full Senate vote.
Trainor’s confirmation would make an ineffective agency even worse.
In multiple cases, Trainor has demonstrated that he does not support common-sense enforcement of our election and anti-corruption laws. During his confirmation hearing, he suggested that dark money groups are already disclosing their donors to the FEC and declined to support new transparency rules. He’s also expressed support for defunding Texas’s equivalent of the FEC.
The evidence is clear: Trey Trainor is the wrong choice for the FEC.
Tell the Senate to vote “NO” on Trey Trainor.
The president should only nominate, and the Senate should only confirm, individuals who will put their constitutional oaths to uphold the law above their personal ideological views, so that the agency charged with upholding election laws can actually fulfill that duty.
Add your name to tell the Senate to confirm a nominee who will enforce the law.
Thanks for your support,
Meredith McGehee
Executive Director, Issue One
