The Federal Election Commission (FEC) allows an individual to contribute up to $3500 per election; a qualified political action committee may contribute up to $5000 per election. The primary, general, special, and runoff elections are considered separate elections for the purpose of these limits. Contributions that exceed $3500 from individual and $5000 from a qualified political action committee will be automatically attributed to the next applicable election unless specified otherwise. Federal law requires us to report the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer for individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle. Contributions from foreign nationals are prohibited. No corporate checks or corporate credit cards may be accepted. Contributions are not considered charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
