Action: On May 19, the Administration notified the Supreme Court that it will not defend a Federal campaign finance law that restricts the amount of money that political parties can spend in coordination with a candidate. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) filed a petition for review late last year asking the Supreme Court to strike down the coordinated party expenditure limits, which former US Solicitor General Noel Francisco, representing the NRSC, argued, “run afoul of modern campaign-finance doctrine and burden parties’ and candidates’ core political rights.” The lawsuit was filed in 2022 by then-Senator JD Vance, along with former Representative Steve Chabot (R-OH), arguing that Federal limits on coordinated party expenditures violate the First Amendment. The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has already determined that the spending limits do not violate the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause.Key Insights
