    July 24, 2018 Federal Election Commission Lisa J. Stevenson, Acting General Counsel Office of the General Counsel 1050 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20463 Submitted via email and U.S.P.S. Petition for Rulemaking to Revise and Amend Regulations Relating to the Personal Use of Leadership PAC Funds Dear Ms. Stevenson, Pursuant to 11 C.F.R. § 200.1 et seq., Campaign Legal Center (“CLC”), Issue One, and former United States Representatives Rod Chandler (R-WA), Larry LaRocco (D- ID), Peter Smith (R-VT), Claudine Schneider (R-RI), and John Tanner (D-TN) hereby petition the Federal Election Commission to open a rulemaking to revise and amend 11 C.F.R. § 113.1(g), the regulation defining the personal use of campaign funds, to clarify the application of this rule to so-called “Leadership PACs.” Congress has prohibited “any contribution accepted by a candidate” and “any other donation received by an individual as support for activities of the individual as a holder of Federal office” from being converted to the “personal use” of the candidate or any other person. 52 U.S.C. §§ 30114(a), 30114(b)(1). By its very terms, this statutory personal use prohibition is applicable to any contribution received by a candidate’s leadership PAC, and Commission rules should reflect this clear statutory mandate. Although the Commission has allowed for the creation of leadership PACs to permit candidates and officeholders to support other candidates or party committees, the attached report demonstrates that leadership PACs are commonly used as slush funds to subsidize officeholders’ lifestyles. As the analysis in the attached report (“All Expenses Paid: How Leadership PACs Became Politicians’ Preferred Ticket to Luxury Living”) demonstrates, over the past five years, only 45% of all leadership PAC spending has gone towards contributions to other candidates or political committees—and many leadership PACs give even less.
