Bradley Smith Biography

Bradley Smith is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on February 21, 1991 in Billericay, England, United Kingdom. Bradley A. Smith (born 1958) is the Josiah H. Blackmore II/Shirley M. Nault Professor at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio. He was previously the Commissioner of the FEC, Vice Chairman, and Chair of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) between 2000 between 2000 and 2005. The most notable thing about him is his writings and actions in opposition to regulations on campaign finance.

After a long fight with Senate Republican officials and members of members of the White House, Smith was appointed to a 6-year appointment to the FEC on February 9th 2000 by the former President Bill Clinton, and confirmed to the position in Senate members of the United States Senate on May 24 the 24th of May, 2000. In the meantime, Smith had established himself as one of the most renowned experts in the field of campaign finances within the United States, with his articles on elections and campaign finance appearing in prestigious academic journals, along with The Yale Law Journal, including the University of Pennsylvania Law Review as well as The Harvard Journal of Legislation. In the Brennan Center for Justice, an outspoken criticism of Smith’s work nonetheless declared him “the most sought after witness” to present the case for the deregulation of campaign finance before committees of Congress.

Unfree Speech is an important academic work. It sold well enough to trigger the release of a paperback version in 2003. More importantly, Unfree Speech paved the way for later works. Before Unfree Speech, most books on campaign finance focused on sources of campaign funding and the creation of ideal regulatory regimes. Unfree Speech was a forerunner for a number of scholarly books published in the early 2000s that were more skeptical of campaign finance reform and its underlying assumptions, including John Samples’ “The Fallacy of Campaign Finance Reform,” “Money, Power, and Elections” by Rodney Smith, Melvin Urofsky’s “Money and Free Speech,” and Ray LaRaja’s “Small Change.”

As Commissioner and later Chairman of the FEC, Smith remained controversial, particularly in 2004, when as Chairman he bucked the Republican Party and refused to support new regulations of “527 groups,” organizations, largely unregulated by campaign finance laws, that were generally believed to favor Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry. Smith’s tenure was otherwise marked by efforts to reform the FEC’s enforcement proceedings to provide greater due process rights for respondents, and a staunch stand against expansion of the law into uncharted areas. Smith also supported the creation of an Administrative Fines program and an Alternative Dispute Resolution Office at the FEC. As Commissioner, he maintained an active speaking schedule and continued to criticize campaign finance laws. He resigned from the FEC in August 2005 to return to teaching, writing in his resignation letter to President Bush, “Political activity is more heavily regulated than at any time in our nation’s history.”

Smith’s capacity to communicate to a wide audience quickly caught interest from politicians as well as think groups in Washington. Smith was a well-known panelist before Congress due to his skewed viewpoints and his ability to simplify complicated issues for easy consumption. After gaining the interest of Republican members of Congress In 1999, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, on the suggestion from Mitch McConnell, Senator Mitch McConnell, sent Smith’s name to the Clinton White House as the Republican candidate to fill the Republican post of the bipartisan Federal Election Commission, which is responsible for the compliance with federal laws on campaign finance.

A Michigan born, Smith received a B.A. at Kalamazoo College and a J.D. in law from Harvard Law School in 1990. After a brief stint at the law firm Vorys Saper, Seymour, Sater as well as Pease Smith became a professor of Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio in the autumn of 1993. Smith’s breakthrough occurred in 1996 after the publication of his essay “Faulty Assumptions and Undemocratic Consequences of Campaign Finance Reform” in the Yale Law Journal.

Smith was followed by “Faulty Assumptions” with a collection of academic papers expanding and refining his method, especially “Money Talks: Speech, Corruption, Equality and Campaign Finance”, which was published within the Georgetown Law Journal in 1997. “Money Talks” focuses on Constitutional principles of regulation of campaign finance.

Smith also wrote Unfree Speech: The Folly of Campaign Finance Reform, a book published by the Princeton University Press in 2001. By the time Unfree Speech was published, both Smith and his campaign finance scholarship had become something of a Rorschach test for attitudes about campaign finance. The book met with near universal praise among opponents of regulation, such as columnist George Will, who called it “the Year’s most important book on governance,” and condemnation from supporters of regulation, with journalist Eliza Newlin Carney lambasting it as “facile and boggling.” Scholars, including the British political scientist Michael Pinto-Duschinsky were more balanced and generally complimentary.
