FEC

FEC, or Federal Election Commission, is a U.S. government agency responsible for enforcing federal campaign finance laws. Its primary role is to oversee and regulate the funding of political campaigns to ensure transparency and fairness. This involves collecting reports from candidates and political groups about where their money comes from and how it’s spent. The FEC sets rules on donation limits, disclosure requirements, and spending, aiming to prevent corruption and influence-peddling in elections. Essentially, it acts as a watchdog to maintain integrity and transparency in the political financing process.
