In addition to working with the Center's litigation team, Ms. Howe will also contribute to the government ethics and lobbying reform initiatives. Mr. Vance will oversee the Center's public and media relations outreach and research projects.

" The additions of Eva and David will bolster our existing staff and help us to further the goals of the Campaign Legal Center ," said Trevor Potter, former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission and president of the Campaign Legal Center.
