BRIAN HOCKENSMITH FOR PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN FUND: FEC to host March 18 webinar on independent expenditures (2020)

Business(1000)

Brian Hockensmith For President Campaign Fund issued the following announcement on Feb.3.

Political committees, individuals and organizations spent more than $1.3 billion on independent expenditures during the 2017-18 midterm elections, and will likely spend more than that this cycle. If you’d like to learn more about these unlimited express advocacy communications, please plan to attend our March 18 Independent Expenditures Webinar.

Staff from the FEC's Information and Reports Analysis Divisions will review the rules and reporting requirements for political committees—including Super PACs and Hybrid PACs—individuals and organizations that make independent expenditures. Participants will learn the difference between independent expenditures and coordinated communications, and the consequences of making one rather than the other. We'll also review disclaimer requirements and work through several scenarios to demonstrate how and when to report independent expenditures. Participants will be able to type questions into a chat box and get answers in real-time from the presenters and chat hosts.
