Campaign spending ceilings rise with cost of living
Rising living costs push up federal campaign spending ceilings for presidential and congressional races under the new law. The CPI 7 percent gain raises the presidential limit to 107 million and the major party general election cap to 21.4 million, with federal matching funds potentially adding about 5 million per candidate in primaries and general. Senate and House limits also increase, with two-representative states boosted to 74,900 for primary and general contests, and one-representative states to be set by population figures forthcoming from the FEC.
