Description
This appeal arises from a diversity jurisdiction suit on a contractual debt. Defendant-Appellant/Cross-Appellee Richard Thornburgh ("Thornburgh") asks us to reverse the district courts judgment holding him personally liable for a contractual obligation incurred during his campaign for the U.S. Senate by the "Thornburgh for Senate Committee" (the "Committee"), Thornburghs unincorporated principal campaign committee. He argues that the district court erred by finding that -- personally and through his general agent, Murray Dickman ("Dickman") -- Thornburgh authorized, assented to, or ratified the Committees contract on which the court held him personally liable. The Republican National Committee ("RNC"), appearing as amicus curiae, argues that the district court ignored notions of federalism, and thus applied an incorrect legal standard, in determining Thornburghs liability for the Committees debt.
