In the case of McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the organization that joined Alabama businessman Shaun McCutcheon in challenging the aggregate contribution limits was the Republican National Committee (RNC).1
The RNC, which manages the affairs of the Republican Party, filed the suit alongside McCutcheon in June 2012 against the Federal Election Commission. Together, they argued that the aggregate limits imposed by the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) violated First Amendment freedoms and were no longer necessary to prevent corruption, a justification previously established in Buckley v. Valeo.1
