What is the maximum amount a PAC multicandidate committee can contribute to a candidate committee per election?

A Political Action Committee (PAC) multicandidate committee can contribute a maximum of $5,000 to a candidate committee for each election. This limit was established by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to regulate the influence of money in politics while allowing for substantial support from organized groups. The contribution limit helps to maintain transparent and accountable campaign financing, ensuring that contributions to candidates do not exceed a level that could be viewed as attempting to unduly influence the political process. It’s important to note that this limit applies to every election cycle—primary, general, and special elections—meaning a PAC can contribute up to $5,000 for each of these separate elections.
