Prof. Painter Quoted in Politico on HHS Secretary's Campaign Activity

Professor Richard Painter was quoted extensively in a Politico article on campaigning for the president's reelection by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in Wisconsin. Her campaigning did not violate the Hatch Act, but Painter said that cabinet secretaries should refrain from partisan political activity and that both the president and Governor Romney should promise to scale back political activity of senior administration official's in the next administration.
