What are the limits on contributions that PACs may make to campaigns?
PACs may contribute up to $1,000 to any candidate or slate of candidates per election. This means the PAC may contribute $1,000 in a primary and, if the candidate or slate wins the primary, the PAC may contribute $1,000 in the general election. However, PACs may only contribute $200 per election to school board candidates. An additional limit is set on PAC receipts. A campaign may only accept 50 percent of its total contributions or $10,000, whichever is the greater amount per election from PACs. Any amount over 50 percent must be refunded to the PAC.
