About Me

I am a conservative attorney who specializes in campaign finance and election law.  I most recently worked as Deputy Campaign Manager and General Counsel for Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner's California Gubernatorial race. Before that, I was FEC Counsel for McCain-Palin 2008 and was Deputy General Counsel for the Romney for President.  


My legal practice consists of advising corporate, non-profit and campaign clients on:

• federal and state campaign finance laws
• lobbying disclosure
• government ethics laws
• public official financial disclosure
• fundraising strategy
• campaign administration
• ballot access
• Election Day operations
• delegate selection rules
• advertising direct mail robo-call and other public communications compliance
• and political convention rules and operations.

I previously worked as legal counsel to the Committee on House Administration of the U.S. House of Representatives where I focused on issues such as HAVA implementation, election integrity, congressional ethics, and campaign finance. I worked at the Federal Election Commission as law clerk to Commissioner Michael E. Toner and at the DC law firm Caplin & Drysdale where I focused exclusively on campaign finance, election law and lobbying issues.  


Full disclosure: I'm a huge Romney fan, and have been since I worked for NBC during the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.  I will probably post frequently on all things Mitt Romney.
