An act relating to limiting campaign contributions for State Representatives and State Senators
H 116 would limit campaign contributions for Vermont State Representative and State Senator candidates. It sets a $1,000 maximum per source (including political committees) for Representatives and $1,500 for Senators, with a total cap of $29,000 from all sources per election cycle. The bill also clarifies that candidates may contribute unlimited amounts to their own campaigns. These limits apply specifically to candidates for State Representative and State Senator positions, not to other offices like Governor or county officials. The bill does not restrict contributions from political parties.
