1Opinion of the CourtConboy, J.
The New Hampshire Attorney General (AG) appeals an order of the Superior Court (McNamara, J.) dismissing his petition for civil penalties against the Bass Victory Committee (Committee), the authorized campaign committee of former United States Congressman Charles F. Bass, for allegedly violating RSA 664:16-a (2008) (amended 2014) by engaging in “push-polling.” See RSA 664:21, VI (Supp. 2013). The AG argues that the trial court erroneously determined that the Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. §§ 30101 et seq. (FECA), * preempts RSA 664:16-a. We affirm.
