Campaign Finance


Contributions by PACs to congressional candidates seeking office in the 2019-2020 election cycle totaled $109.1 million as of June 30, 2019. PAC contributions to Senate and House candidates totaled $21.5 million and $87.6 million, respectively. - Sep 26, 2019

How much can corporations give to a political campaign?
$5,000 to a candidate or candidate committee for each election (primary and general elections count as separate elections); $15,000 to a political party per year; and. $5,000 to another PAC per year.

These expenses on behalf of a candidate are limited to $1,000 per election; expenses on behalf of a political party are limited to $2,000 per year. Any amount spent in excess of the limits is a contribution to the candidate or party committee.

Although an individual may contribute up to the primary 
limit to a publicly funded presidential primary candidate, only a maximum of $250 of each individual's contribution is counted towards federal matching funds.
