  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

My name is Perry Willis. I have spent the past 20 years working almost full time in direct professional involvement with state, local, and federal campaigns, and with state, local, and national Libertarian Party organizations. Because of my extensive practical experience with the real world effects of the federal campaign finance regulations, I have been asked to provide a report concerning those effects on challengers, and on Libertarian Party candidates in particular, both under the FECA and the BCRA. Actual experience with the real practical effects of campaign regulations has taught me a host of consequences of these laws that the scholarly studies in this area that I have read do not cover fully. I have agreed to provide this report and the cross-examine at no fee, only reimbursement for expenses. Below is a brief list of my professional experience followed by a summary of specific work activities as they relate to federal campaign regulation.

MUR# Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: MUR 6869, In the Matter of the Commission on Presidential Debates, et al. To Whom It May Concern: We represent the Libertarian National Committee, Inc., which controls and manages the affairs of the United States Libertarian Party (the "Libertarian Party"). On its behalf, we respectfully request to join the Complaint against the Commissiori on Presidential Debates and certain of its directors, filed on behalf of Level the Playing Field and Peter Ackeiman In the Matter of the Commission on Presidential Debates, et al, MUR 6869. The Libertarian Party shares the views of Level the Playing Field and Dr. Ackerman that the Commission on Presidential Debates ("CPD") and certain of its directors (the "Named Directors") have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act and the Commission's regulations in connection with the CPD's hosting of general election presidential debates. The Libertarian Party asserts no new allegations, and instead incorporates fully the allegations against the CPD and the Named Directors set forth in the Complaint in MUR 6869. Accordingly, the Commission should permit the Libertarian Party to join the Complaint in MUR 6869 rather than initiating a new MUR and treating the Libertarian Party's request to join as a new administrative complaint.

  • Advisory Opinion 2004-34
    FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Washington, DC 20463 December 2, 2004 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED ADVISORY OPINION 2004-40 Joseph J. Miller, Jr. Treasurer Libertarian Party of Maryland 211 Coronet Drive Linthicum Heights, MD 21090-1706 Dear Mr. Miller, We are responding to your inquiry regarding the status of the Libertarian Party of Maryland (the “Party”) as a State party committee of a political party under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the “Act”), and Commission regulations. In this opinion, the Commission concludes that the Party qualifies as a State party committee because (1) the Party is a political party that is affiliated with the national committee of the Libertarian Party, (2) is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Libertarian Party at the State level, and (3) is part of the official Libertarian Party structure. Background The facts of this request are presented in letters dated September 27 and October 18 and 22, 2004. The Party’s constitution (the “Party Constitution”) details various aspects of the organization of the Party. It illustrates how the Party, through the State Central Committee and the Local Central Committee in each county, engages in various activities in Maryland, including: creating a yearly plan of action to promote the Party in Maryland, communicating regularly with its members, nominating candidates for State and local AO 2004-40 Page 2 public offices, supporting the election of the Party’s candidates, and engaging in educational social, and fundraising activities to advance the Party’s goals.1 The Party has provided printouts from the Maryland State Board of Elections website that show that the Party placed candidates for Federal office on the Maryland ballot for the 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000 Presidential elections.
