Doubling of Campaign Contribution limits for Philadelphia At- Large City Council Races
DOUBLING OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS FOR
PHILADELPHIA AT-LARGE CITY COUNCIL RACES
Pursuant to the City of Philadelphia’s campaign finance law, if a candidate makes total contributions of $250,000 or more of his or her personal resources to his or her campaign, then the contribution limits for all candidates for that office shall be doubled.
As of May 1, 2015, Allan Domb, a candidate for one of Philadelphia’s At-Large City Council seats, contributed more than $250,000 of his personal resources to his campaign. Therefore, effective May 1, 2015, the limits on contributions to all candidates for Philadelphia’s At-Large City Council seats are doubled to:
$5,800 for individuals; and
$23,000 for political committees and unincorporated business organizations
The limits for candidates for Philadelphia’s at-large City Council seats will remain doubled even if:
a. Mr. Domb ceases to be a candidate; or
b. After the limits have doubled, Mr. Domb’s candidate political committee returns, repays, or refunds a portion of the money contributed from his personal resources.
Please note that the limits are not doubled for contributions to litigation fund committees or post-candidacy contributions.
If you have any questions concerning Philadelphia’s campaign finance law, please call 215-686-9450. Information is also available on the Board’s website at: http://www.phila.gov/ethicsboard.
