Allison Hayward talks campaign finance with state AGs

Since Citizens United, a number of states around the country have enacted statutes to permit corporate political expenditures while also providing for adequate disclosure of that political spending. These laws, as well as other election-related disclosure rules, are the subject of ongoing litigation around the country. This panel will discuss the current status of campaign disclosure law. Panelists can discuss recent judicial decisions (including the Supreme Court opinions in Citizens United and Doe v. Reed) that have endorsed the value of disclosure laws in the electoral context, as well as the First Amendment arguments that have been raised in opposition to such laws.
