1Opinion of the Court
TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.
This case requires us to consider state campaign finance regulations in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310, 130 S.Ct. 876, 175 L.Ed.2d 753 (2010). Citizens United held that federal election law violated the First Amendment by restricting independent political spending because the speaker was a corporation — the holding allowed corporate entities to make unlimited independent expenditures supporting or opposing issues or candidates as long as the expenditures were not coordinated with a candidate for federal office.
