Campaign Contribution Limits
Pursuant to Assembly Bill 571 (Stats. 2019, Ch. 556, AB 571 Mullin), beginning January 1, 2021, a state campaign contribution limit will by default apply to city and county candidates when the city or county has not already enacted a contribution limit on such candidates. Because the City of Glendora has not enacted contribution limits, these limits will apply to all candidates running for City offices within the City of Glendora. These contribution limits do not apply to special or school District candidates. Along with the new campaign contribution limit, there are related provisions that formerly applied only to state level candidates that will now apply to city and county candidates.
Contribution limits can be found in Regulation 18545(a)2 and on the FPPC website. The default limit for contributions to city and county candidates subject to AB 571 for 2023-2024 is set at $5,500 per election.
