Caroline Hunter announced that she will resign from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on July 3, 2020, leaving the agency without a quorum.
Hunter was appointed in 2008 by President George W. Bush for a six-year term, but stayed on for another six years due to a replacement not being appointed.
After her retirement, Hunter will be joining the philanthropic group Stand Together.
President Trump has nominated Allen Dickerson, the legal director for the conservative non-profit Institute of Free Speech, to replace Hunter.
The FEC, however, had only just regained a quorum this May after nine months of being unable to conduct business.
This delay was due to having only three of the agency’s six seats filled.
