Eric Kashdan – Challenges, Trends in US Democracy Law
What lies ahead for campaign finance reform, ethics, and voting rights after the 2022 midterms and ahead of the 2024 presidential election? Senior Manager of Legislative Strategy for the Campaign Legal Center Eric Kashdan will discuss these issues and legislative debates now before Congress. The Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit based in Washington, uses litigation, policy advocacy, and communications to advance democracy through law, including work on effective federal campaign finance, ethics, voting rights, redistricting, and election laws. Eric previously served as a Legislative Assistant in the Senate and was involved in a successful effort to update the Electoral Count Act to safeguard the results of presidential elections.
