Legal Center Coordinates Broad Range of Amici in Supreme Court Defense of Arizona Public Financing System

A broad range of individuals and organizations – from organized labor and the Committee for Economic Development to former Wyoming Republican Senator Alan Simpson and Connecticut Democratic Senate candidate Ned Lamont - have filed amici briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Arizona’s public financing program for state electoral campaigns.  The Campaign Legal Center served as coordinator of amici in the case McComish v. Bennett in addition to filing its own brief with Democracy 21 and six other public interest groups.

 More than a dozen amici briefs are now posted on the Campaign Legal Center website and additional briefs will be added.
