While the Federal Election Commission has responsibility for enforcing federal campaign finance laws, 50 different agencies handle those duties at the state level. This interview is part of a series – “The State of Disclosure: Campaign Finance Enforcement Across America” – examining how the officials responsible for transparency in each state handle those duties.
Bill Young is executive director of the Tennessee Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance Commission, meaning he is charged with enforcing state campaign finance laws and educating candidates, public officials and the general public about compliance requirements.
“It’s all about transparency,” Young says. “Wwe should make [the information] available to the public, and then the public and the press can decide how to use it.”
Young earned both his undergraduate and J.D. degrees from Vanderbilt University. Early in his career, he served as a law clerk to the chief judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court before entering private practice. He later held senior roles in the Tennessee attorney general’s office, served as deputy commissioner of the state’s Department of Commerce and Insurance, and was later appointed chancellor of the Davidson County Chancery Court.
Amid a tough election season, Young sat down to speak with me about Tennessee’s campaign finance and ethics system, his concerns and his commitment to maintaining transparency and public trust.
