Campaign Legal Center v. FEC (26-1559) seeks to vacate Advisory Opinion 2024-01

In AO 2024-01, the Commission concluded that a state-registered committee's proposed canvassing activities did not meet the definition of coordinated communications, coordinated expenditures or public communications. Data acquired from canvassing efforts and shared with a federal candidate or party committee at less than its fair market value, however, would result in an in-kind contribution.

Plaintiff alleges that the Commission's conclusion in AO 2024-01 unlawfully allows candidates and parties to freely coordinate canvassing expenditures with groups not subject to the Act's disclosure requirements or contribution limits.
