• Chapter 106.071 states an expenditure made to support or defeat a candidate’s election is an independent expenditure only if the candidate does not control, coordinate or consult with the person or organization making the expenditure. If the aggregate amount of the independent expenditure is $100 or more, the person or group making the expenditure shall file reports with the same officer as a political committee supporting or opposing such candidate. Political advertisements must prominently state, “Paid political advertisement paid for by (Name of person or committee paying for advertisement) independently of any candidate”, and shall contain the name and address of the person paying for the political advertisement.
