The James Legal Fund (“JFC”) is a joint fundraising committee composed of John James for Senate, Inc. and the Republican National Committee (each individually, a “Committee” and collectively, the “Committees”).
Contributions or gifts to JFC, or any participating Committee individually, are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
All contributions permissible under FECA, but which would cause a contributor to exceed any applicable Federal contribution limit to a specific Committee, shall be reallocated to the remaining Committees according to this allocation formula to the extent permitted by FECA. Any contribution that would otherwise cause a contributor to exceed any applicable Federal contribution limit or that is otherwise impermissible under FECA shall be refunded to the contributor. Notwithstanding the allocation formula, any contributor may designate his or her contribution to a specific participating Committee, to the extent permissible by FECA. Any contributor may make his or her contribution directly payable to any Committee participating in JFC. Any such designated contribution that causes the contributor to exceed the contribution limit to the designated Committee shall not be reallocated by JFC absent the prior written permission of the contributor as required by law.
Contributions from corporations, foreign nationals (without “green cards”), federal government contractors, and other federally impermissible sources are prohibited. No contributions to the RNC Building Fund or the RNC Legal Proceedings Account will be used to influence any federal election.
The maximum an individual or a federal non-multicandidate political committee may contribute to JFC is $109,300. The maximum amount a federal multi-candidate political action committee may contribute to JFC is $50,000. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of each individual whose aggregate contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle or calendar year, as applicable.
Contributions to JFC shall be allocated as follows:
1. The first $2,800 from any single individual’s contribution shall go to John James for Senate, Inc.’s recount fund account. Any remaining $106,500 shall go to the RNC Legal Proceedings Account.
2. The first $5,600 from any joint individual contribution shall go to John James for Senate Inc.’s recount fund account. Any remaining $213,000 shall go to the RNC Legal Proceedings Account.
3. The first $2,800 from any federal non-multicandidate PAC shall go to John James for Senate, Inc.’s recount fund account. Any remaining $106,500 shall go to the RNC Legal Proceedings Account.
4. The first $5,000 from any federal multicandidate PAC contribution shall go to John James for Senate, Inc.’s recount fund account. Any remaining $45,000 shall go to the RNC Legal Proceedings Account.
The contributor’s signature shall serve as written designation of his or her contribution to the particular elections described above.
The allocation formula may change if a contributor makes a contribution which would exceed the amount that contributor may give to any participant.
