This morning at the @FEC's open meeting, Commissioner Trey Trainor (@TXElectionLaw) decided to "pass judgment" on a requestor asking the Commission about childcare rules.
He called the requestor’s need for childcare "abhorrent."

As a proud HBCU graduate, I'm saddened that students at HBCUs across the country woke up this morning to bomb threats on the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth. Education is not a threat.
"Flaming love and learning's light. Teach us each day, each passing hour." #Dillard#HBCUs
Our laws disadvantage working-class Americans and disabled veterans who seek to run for office. Today I issued a statement calling on the Commission to make running for office an option for ALL Americans.

Since my first day as Chair of the FEC, it’s been my priority to engage with my colleagues to find ways for the FEC to play a bigger role in combating “scam PACs.” I am pleased that we will be addressing this issue at the April 22 Open Meeting.

Open for public comment until March 18: My (& @EllenLWeintraub’s) draft @FEC interpretive rule that seeks to clarify when members of Congress may use campaign funds to pay for personal security personnel.

This week the FEC’s EEO Office highlights HBCUs and the crucial role they played in educating some of the country’s most influential black Americans. As an alum of two, HBCUs will always be dear to my heart. #SULC#LawyerLeaders#MyDU#FairDillardbit.do/fNLLi
The FEC continues to celebrate Black History Month with this piece by our EEO office, which highlights African American family reunions.

The FEC announced updated contribution limits that have been indexed for inflation and are effective for federal elections in 2021-22. go.usa.gov/xAzMZ
Celebrating Black trailblazers, I highlight Shirley Chisholm, the first Black congresswoman & first woman to seek the nomination for president, paving the way for many, including myself.
“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” #BlackHistoryMonth
