The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently issued an important decision regarding the ability of federal candidates to coordinate with committees such as the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Unlike in New Jersey where candidates for state and local office can receive unlimited support from the state party, the Sixth Circuit declined to undo the 2001 SCOTUS decision upholding restrictions on coordinated party spending on behalf of federal candidates.
