But The Sky’s The Limit For Political Campaign Contributions.

In the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 [FECA; 2 U.S.C. § 441a], Congress imposed two types of limits on campaign contributions: base limits restrict how much money a donor may contribute to a particular candidate and aggregate limits restrict how much money a donor may contribute in total to all candidates or committees. Here, in the 2011-2012 election cycle, the appellant contributed to 16 different federal candidates, complying with the base limits for each, and in his petition alleges the aggregate limits prevented him from contributing to 12 additional candidates. The United States Supreme Court concluded that the aggregate limits are invalid under the First Amendment. (McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission (U.S. Sup. Ct.; April 2, 2014)134 S.Ct. 1434, [188 L.Ed.2d 468].)
