Kansas campaign laws differ from Texas in donations
Kansas allows corporate and union gifts in state races and has no ban like Texas. The state caps corporate contributions to state party war chests at 15,000 dollars annually, with 5,000 dollars limit for political action committees. DeLay's Texas case centers on an explicit ban and alleged illegal funneling of corporate funds to GOP candidates. Corporate money reforms and campaign finance history are discussed by scholars and advocacy groups.
