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
