A state candidate or state officeholder could not contribute more than $four,700 to a committee controlled by one other state candidate or state officeholder (together with a state or native election committee or officeholder account). This limit applies on a per election foundation and consists of, in the mixture, contributions made from the candidate’s or officeholder’s private funds and from campaign funds. This restrict doesn’t apply to a committee controlled by a state candidate to oppose his or her recall, a candidate-managed pollmeasure committee or a candidate’s legal defense fund. Notwithstanding the above, no individual, corporation, or other contributor could give more to a candidate or a candidate’s licensed political committee(s) than an amount decided under the regulation for the workplace sought by the candidate. This known as the election limit.
