RE:
Advisory opinion regarding whether there is a waiting period that a President of a political committee must abide by prior to participating as a candidate in a campaign for an elected office.
Facts:
Specifically, Bill Stiles, asks is there a time period, a cooling off period, for a candidate who is associated with or holds a position with a registered PAC or Super -Pac before he can qualify as an official candidate for a statewide or locally elected position? He gives the following example: Candidate "A" is the president of "Louisiana's Future ", a Political Action Committee registered in the State of Louisiana and Federally with the FEC. Candidate "A" decides to run for State Senate or Agriculture Commissioner. Does he have to resign his position as President of "Louisiana's Future "? If so, how far in advance of his qualification as a candidate?
Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.
Assigned Attorney: Aneatra Boykin
