FEC not 'Ready for Warren'
Ditch your name — or else, federal election regulators are telling an upstart super PAC that's urging Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to seek the presidency.
In a letter Sunday, the Federal Election Commission explained to Chicago-based "Ready for Warren PAC" that only committees authorized by a federal political candidate may use the candidate's name.
If not — and Ready for Warren PAC isn't — "you must amend your statement of organization to change the name of your political committee so that it does not include the candidate's name and/or provide further clarification regarding the nature of your committee," FEC campaign finance analyst Romy Adame-Wilson told the super PAC.
Failure to comply with the law may "result in an enforcement action against the committee" or an audit, the FEC wrote in its letter.
