Judicial campaign spending limits struck down by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court rejected Ohio’s varying limits on judicial candidate spending, ruling that campaign spending is free speech protected by the First Amendment. Ohio had set thresholds from 50 000 to 125 000 based on court level and population, then raised trial judge limits, arguing impartiality. The ruling emphasized spending limits cannot curb candidate expression, even in the unique judicial race context.
