Ct. 2652 (2007) ("WRTL II"), means for state regulation of electioneering communications. The discussion that follows is the Center’s general response to those queries. The analysis does not represent legal advice and is not tailored to the circumstances of any specific jurisdiction; anyone seeking to revise state campaign finance laws to improve regulation or to accommodate WRTL II should consult a lawyer for assistance.
