2016 FEC Rec. 1 (2016)

handle is hein.usfed/fecrecd2016 and id is 1 raw text is: Commission Statement of Chairman Matthew Petersen and Vice Chairman Steven Walther With the 2016 presidential election cycle well underway, the Commission anticipates one of its busiest years in recent memory. This election season will present many challenges, but it will also offer many opportunities. As Chairman and Vice Chairman, we look forward to work- ing with our fellow Commissioners to make this as pro- ductive a year as possible. Being an election year, we expect that the number of complaints filed with the Commission will likely surge, as will the vol- ume of advisory opinion re- quests. We stand ready to act quickly on these items to ensure greater clarity regard- ing the scope and meaning of Matthew S. Petersen Steven T. Walther the Federal Election Campaign Act and Commission regulations and to provide timely resolution and closure for those involved in the enforcement process. Much has been written about disagreements on the Commission. While we do not deny the existence of vig- orous debates among Commissioners, they need not limit the Commission's ability to identify and move for- ward on issues and initiatives that improve compliance with the law, provide helpful information to the public, and enhance Commission operations. To that end, we are committed to finding common ground and to com- promise where necessary to make tangible progress on constructive proposals. For instance, we plan to build on the efforts of past- Chairs Goodman and Ravel to improve the design and functioning of the Commission's website in order to pro- vide the most useful and user-friendly website possible
