New fundraising rules reshape California campaigns in 1974
Sacramento reports new federal and state rules tighten political fund raising. The 1974 Federal Election Act limits individual gifts to 1000 dollars and 5000 dollars per organization per campaign, affecting only federal races. California Prop 9 constrains lobbyist contributions, while unions face limits on using dues for politics. Leaders from both parties warn the change requires broader donor participation and shifts campaign dynamics.
