1 source gave more than the contribution limit ($2,700 over in all)
A candidate's committee may accept only so much from one source in an election cycle: in 2025–26, $7,300 from an individual, $14,600 from a corporation, union or association, and $72,800 from a PAC or another candidate's committee. The most over: Kevin Hoffman gave $10,000 in the general cycle, against a limit of $7,300 for an individual.
What to check
- Excess returned to the source (or given to charity) within 30 days of the Board's notice isn't a violation; a refund the committee listed under another name or purpose isn't subtracted here.
- Two different people with the same name and ZIP code would be added together.
- Spouses are separate sources, as are a business and the person who owns it.
- Whether a corporation's or union's own PAC gave instead (the PAC limit applies to it).
