Despite federal laws requiring transparency, much political campaign spending is obscured by regulations that exempt advertising agencies, consultancies and other sub-vendors from reporting their spending on behalf of political clients.
The Duke University Center on Science & Technology Policy and Campaign Legal Center will host a virtual panel discussion on the regulations that govern federal reporting of political sub-vendor spending. Offering insight from across sectors, the panel will outline current regulations, consider their implications on public transparency and evaluate potential reforms.
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center advances democracy through law at the federal, state and local levels, fighting for every American’s rights to responsive government and a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the democratic process.
