Podcasts about public office

Employees and volunteers of public charities often participate in the political and democratic process in ways that connect to their organization's mission. While a 501(c)(3) cannot engage in partisan activity, individuals don't give up their First Amendment rights when they are staff, board members, or volunteers of a public charity. In our last episode, we talked about candidate appearances at charitable events. But what if the call is coming from inside the house? In this episode, we'll share some practical tips and best practices to help you engage in electoral work as an individual while keeping your organization safely within the rules to protect its tax-exempt status.   Attorneys for this episode  Victor Rivera  Quyen Tu  Sarah Efthymiou  Show notes  Basic rule: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. This rule also applies to anyone acting on an official capacity on behalf of the c3. This means that (c)(3) leaders, staff, and volunteers may not use the facilities, equipment, personnel, or other c3 resources to provide support to or oppose a candidate or campaign. However, this prohibition does not apply to the activities of officers, directors, or employees of 501(c)(3)s who are acting in their individual capacity.  Best Practices: Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Know when you're on the clock. 501(c)(3) staff may work on political campaigns outside of work hours, or while using their available leave time. However, time for which a charity compensates a staff member is also the charity's resource and should not be used for supporting or opposing candidates. Even unpaid time off could be problematic if permitted to staff outside of standard personnel policy limits and preferentially allow them to volunteer on some campaigns and not others.  Don't use c3 resources for political purposes. A charity should not allow its assets or facilities to be used for individuals' personal campaign work (including obvious resources like letterhead, photocopiers, and telephones, as well as perhaps less obvious ones like distribution lists, postal mailing permits, and email accounts). And, since 501(c)(3)-sponsored events use the organization's reputation and goodwill, 501(c)(3) representatives cannot support or oppose candidates at events.  Adopt an election-season policy. 501(c)(3) organizations should make staff aware, in writing, of policies against using organizational resources for supporting or opposing candidates.  Make clear what hat you're wearing. Individuals should make it clear that they are speaking for themselves and not for the organization when participating in partisan activities off the charity's clock.  Best Practices: 501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office  In addition to supporting candidates, individuals who work for or serve as board members for 501(c)(3) organizations may wish to run for office themselves. In those situations, it is important for the 501(c)(3) associated with the candidate to avoid supporting or opposing the candidacy, as well as avoid giving the appearance of supporting or opposing the candidacy.  Avoid allowing 501(c)(3) resources to be used for campaign activities, including facilities and staff time.   If mentioning candidacy, do so for informational purposes only.  Confirm whether government grants place any restrictions on staff running for office.   If using a 501(c)(3)'s social media accounts, be careful about liking or sharing content from the candidate's account/campaign.  Resources   Rules of the Game: Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s  Sample 501(c)(3) Organizational Policy for Election Season   501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office (Factsheet)  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s   Board Members and Election Year Activities)  The Hatch Act of 1939: Frequently Asked Questions  8 Tips For Nonprofits with Employees Running for Public Office

00:00 And welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. What a beautiful Tuesday we've got going on out there. However, I will say that I do believe everybody right now is walking around in shoes that have some form of yellow on them. I would imagine as pollen season is now. Here's the thing. Pollen season is now just starting. As we say here in the South, 00:30 It's fixing to get ready. It's fixing to get ready to be really, really heavy. It's already pretty heavy out there. I know you folks like me um that suffer from seasonal allergies. And my seasonal allergies are basically January through December. I'm allergic to something all year, um but it uh is absolutely, and I'm, yes, JJ said you're allergic to Democrats. Yes, they make me break out in hives. uh 00:58 is what they do but if you are suffering from seasonal allergies, man, I feel for you this time of year. And this is just going to be the first dump. Because remember, we always get the spring dump and then we get the later dump uh in the summer and that's going to be happening as well. But good news is we've got a lot of things blooming out there including those horrible Bradford pears that Clemson is now going to trade you. 01:26 Well, they said that they will trade you uh several uh indigenous trees for one Bradford pear. Get rid of those things. They're absolutely horrible. there you go. So spring is springing all around us right now. Well, Nancy Mace has done something that everybody was wondering when she was going to do it because filing ends? Good grief. Are we already there? 01:55 Filing for public office in South Carolina, I believe, ends... When is it? Is it the end of the month? March 31st at noon? I believe that's it. So Nancy Mace has officially filed to run for governor of South Carolina. So now we got Nancy Mace, Allen Wilson, Josh Kimral, Pamela Evitt, we've got Ralph Norman, and we've got Rod Reddy. 02:22 who has also announced that he is running for governor. I don't know how big of a splash he's really going to make, but it looks like the field is now pretty much set in the governor's race here in South Carolina. And this is going to be extremely interesting to watch because what I'm looking for in a candidate, the number one thing as far as governor is concerned, governor's office is concerned, I'm looking for somebody that number one is going to be visible. 02:53 That would be awesome. mean, for the past almost eight years, we've had over eight years now, we've had a governor. 03:03 that has refused to just about answer any question. The only time we see Henry McMaster anywhere is when a new company is coming into town. 03:16 or oh some ribbon cutting, or we get some sort of a natural disaster. That's basically the only time we see Henry McMaster. So I would like a governor that's a lot more visible to the people that actually elect them. Number two, I'm looking for someone that is going to get in there and fight the legislature on some of these bad bills. That's what I would like to see him. Speaking of bad bills, um 03:44 We've got the bad bill sheet coming up at 4.06 this afternoon. We'll tell you some of the bad legislation that they're trying to pass in the House of Representatives. are a couple of good bills because we got primaries coming up. So they're going to try to lean a little to the right over in the state legislature. But I want a governor that's out there. I want to see them. I'm not just talking about getting out there and just praising us to 04:12 business and industry trying to get them to come here. I want somebody who's going to get out there and be a real champion for this state, the people of this state, the taxpayers of this state. That's what I'm looking for. So I want somebody who's going to fight against the bad legislation that's coming out of Columbia. That's number one and number two. Actually, you can flip those. Number one, I want to see a fighter. Number two, I want to see t ...

The former US ambassador Peter Mandelson is on bail after being arrested on suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office. Police have been investigating claims that when he was Business secretary, he shared market-sensitive government information with the financier Jeffrey Epstein. His arrest comes a few days after police arrested Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, also on suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office, when he was a trade envoy. He is suspected of sharing confidential government documents with Epstein. The arrests come after the release of a large number of files by the US Department of Justice. These relate to the activities of Jeffrey Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender. He died in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of the sex-trafficking of underage girls. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was friends with Epstein. So was Lord Mandelson. The BBC has approached Andrew Mountbatten Windsor for a response to these claims. He has always rejected any wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein and denied any personal gain from his role as trade envoy. Lord Mandelson has not publicly commented in recent weeks on the Epstein files, but the BBC understands his position is he has not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.But what exactly is Misconduct in Public Office? It's a common law offence, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, but the Law Commission of England and Wales describes it as "ill-defined ". So how did it evolve, who does it apply to, how does it work in practice? Presenter: Dr Joelle Grogan Editor: Tom Bigwood Senior Producer: Ravi Naik Producer: Charlotte RowlesContributors: Gareth Roberts, Barrister, Exchange chambers Kate Bex KC, Red Lion chambers Jeremy Horder, Professor of Criminal Law, the London School of Economics Dr Hayleigh Bosher, a Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel, University of London.

Is Misconduct in Public Office “one of the most notoriously difficult offences to define in England and Wales” as the Law Commission observed in its 2020 Report into the history of the offence? And what reforms are needed for it to satisfy 21st century requirements of legal certainty according to the Commission's conclusions ? To answer these and other questions, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by the former Criminal Law Commissioner and distinguished Professor of Criminal Law, Jeremy Horder, who, in addition to being the current editor of Ashworth's Principles of Criminal Law, is also the author of the leading academic text on misconduct in public office (https://academic.oup.com/book/2405/chapter-abstract/142612568?redirectedFrom=fulltext) The trio analyse the elements of the offence and its 18th century origins, debate the risk of the offence being seen to be a “political” weapon in a prosecutor's armoury and reflect on how the charge has frequently been deployed in Hong Kong against holders of low and high office alike (see for example) https://legalref.judiciary.hk/lrs/common/ju/loadPdf.jsp?url=https://legalref.judiciary.hk/doc/judg/word/vetted/other/en/2023/CACC000168B_2023.docx&mobile=N This episode was recorded on 24/2/26 before the announcement of the arrest of Peter Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office.  In anticipation of the announcement by Justice Secretary David Lammy of the government's legislative plans to tackle the Crown Court backlog, Ken and Tim repeat their invitation to Courts Minister Sarah Sackman MP to join them on Double Jeopardy to debate the controversial plan to abolish the right to trial by jury for a vast array of crimes and for her to explain why she believes the reforms are justified as a matter of principle and can fairly be retrospective in effect.   Finally, they reflect on the US Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Learning Resources, Inc v Trump (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdf), the Tariffs case which appears to show that even for hitherto avowed Trump loyalist Judges there are Executive Orders they won't countenance.

Former UK Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a rare and historic development for the British monarchy.

The episode kicks off with a jarring headline: Former UK Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a rare and historic development for the British monarchy. Authorities say the arrest is connected to allegations that he shared confidential government information during his time as a UK trade envoy, uncovered through newly released Epstein‑related files—an event so unprecedented that King Charles publicly expressed “deepest concern” as police raided multiple properties tied to Andrew. From global scandal to entertainment chaos, the conversation shifts to Ray J, whose alarming Valentine's Day performance—where apparent blood dripped from his eyes as he wore a chest monitor—left fans stunned. This incident followed his recent revelation that his heart is functioning at just 25%, requiring multiple medications and possible surgical intervention. The drama continues as Stefon Diggs attempts to spin the block with Cardi B, following their widely publicized breakup before and after the Super Bowl. Though insiders say Diggs has sent pricey gifts and made overtures, Cardi publicly confirmed the split onstage, defending him from outside criticism while emphasizing that despite not “f‑‑king with [her] baby daddy,” she won’t tolerate disrespect toward him. Their breakup followed social‑media unfollows, legal troubles on Diggs’ side, and Cardi’s renewed focus on touring after welcoming their child last year. The show wraps with political sparks as Donald Trump publicly gushes over Nicki Minaj at the White House’s Black History Month reception, calling her “beautiful,” praising her “long nails,” and celebrating her as someone who “gets it”—all while Minaj continues posting AI‑generated images of herself and Trump and affirming she is his “No. 1 fan,” deepening an unexpected political alliance that has become a lightning rod online.

In today's episode, we welcome newcomer, Troy Woodard to the show to join us with Wauwatosa Mayor, Dennis McBride.

Both Troy and Mayor McBride share their personal experiences as we discuss motivations for running for office, along with the challenges involved with holding a public office, including public criticisms and potential threats faced by elected officials. We also chat about some of the upcoming changes to the Wauwatosa school district and what the term "public service" means to each of us. All that and, of course, much, much more! Enjoy!
