1Opinion of the Court
BENTON, Circuit Judge.
Missourians for Fiscal Accountability (MFA) formed a campaign committee on October 22, 2014 — less than 30 days before the November 4 election — in violation of Missouri law section 130.011(8).1 MFA sued the executive director of the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC), in his official capacity, seeking to declare unconstitutional the 30-day formation deadline. The district court granted a temporary restraining order, but after the election, dismissed MFA’s suit as not ripe. MFA appeals. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court reverses and remands.
