Federal Election Commission Chairwoman-elect on 'dark money' mission

[Commentary] Federal Election Commission Chairwoman-elect Ann Ravel -- a left-leaning Democrat and campaign finance reformer -- won the FEC’s top job by a 5-0 vote of her commission colleagues on Dec 17. Expect her to evangelize campaign transparency and disclosure for all political players during her upcoming term as chairperson. Her target audience: outside-the-Beltway folks who aren’t election lawyers or political practitioners, but are nevertheless concerned about big money’s influence in politics.
