(BOSTON)—  Federal Election Commissioner Lee Goodman addresses MassFiscal members at a Policy Roundtable Discussion, to be held September 7 in Boston. Commissioner Goodman, appointed by President Barack Obama, served as the Chair of the Commission in 2014. Commissioner Goodman will address campaign finance law and freedom of speech issues.

The FEC regulates national campaign finance law as it applies to candidates for Congress, United States Senate, and President. 

“As Americans, we cherish our First Amendment rights. The laws regulating political speech are complex. The rights and responsibilities of a variety of players need to be fairly balanced,” Paul Craney, Executive Director of The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, said. “Our members can expect to learn a great deal, given Commissioner Goodman's experience and knowledge .”

Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance advocates for fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability in state government and increased economic opportunity for the people of our Commonwealth.
