Important Compliance Notes

Federal limits only — state and local elections have separate limits set by each jurisdiction. Limits apply on a per-election basis (primary, general, runoff, and special each count separately). The Supreme Court struck down aggregate limits in McCutcheon v. FEC (2014). Contributions from foreign nationals are prohibited under 52 U.S.C. 30121.
