The Federal Election Commission unanimously agreed to allow federal candidates to use campaign funds for physical and cybersecurity measures to protect themselves, their families, and campaign staff.
Commissioner Dara Lindenbaum emphasized the necessity of these changes, stating that enhanced security measures are essential in light of ongoing threats to candidates and their families.
The FEC's proposed rules will permit campaign funds to cover reasonable costs for security measures addressing threats specifically related to an individual's campaign duties.
Despite public support for the rules, concerns remain about potential misuse of campaign funds under the guise of security expenses.
