RE: RR 22L-14 

Dear Ms. Connelly: 

 The Federal Election Commission (“Commission”) has ascertained information in the 

normal course of carrying out its supervisory responsibilities indicating Brady PAC and you in 

your official capacity as treasurer, may have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, 

as amended (the “Act”). The matter has been referred by the Reports Analysis Division to the 

Commission’s Office of General Counsel for possible enforcement action under 52 U.S.C. 

§ 30109.1

 Specifically, the Committee has been referred for failing to disclose all financial 

activity on its 2020 30-Day Post-General Report totaling $637,615.00. We have numbered this 

referral RR 22L-14. 

The Act affords you the opportunity to demonstrate in writing that no action should be 

taken against Brady PAC and you in your official capacity as treasurer. If you wish to file a 

response, you may submit any factual or legal materials that you believe are relevant to the 

Commission’s consideration of this matter. Where appropriate, statements should be submitted 

under oath by persons with relevant knowledge. Your response, which should be addressed to 

the General Counsel’s Office, must be submitted within 15 days of receipt of this letter. If no 

response is received within 15 days, the Commission may take further action based on the 

available information. 

This matter will remain confidential in accordance with 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(4)(B) and 

§ 30109(a)(12)(A) unless you notify the Commission in writing that you wish the matter to be

made public. Please be advised that, although the Commission cannot disclose information

regarding an investigation to the public, it may share information on a confidential basis with

other law enforcement agencies.2

1 Notification of this referral is being provided to you pursuant to the Commission’s Agency Procedure for 

Notice to Respondents in Non-Complaint Generated Matters, as published in the Federal Register on August 4, 2009 

(74 Fed. Reg. 38,617).

2 The Commission has the statutory authority to refer knowing and willful violations of the Act to the 

Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution, 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(5)(C), and to report information 

regarding violations of law not within its jurisdiction to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Id. § 30107(a)(9).
