On January 30, 2026, Julie Seegers (plaintiff) filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia alleging the FEC failed to act on her administrative complaint. The plaintiff seeks injunctive and declaratory relief under the Federal Election Campaign Act (the Act).

According to the court complaint, plaintiff filed an administrative complaint with the FEC on August 29, 2025, alleging violations of the Act by ActBlue and George Gilmer, as treasurer, by accepting unlawful contributions and by filing inaccurate reports with the Commission.

Plaintiff alleges the FEC has failed to act on her complaint within the 120-day statutory period after which suit may be filed and asks the court to declare that inaction contrary to law, and to order the FEC to conform with that declaration within 30 days.
