Candidate’s personal funds

June 22, 2026

When candidates use their personal funds for campaign purposes, they are making contributions to their campaigns. Candidate contributions to their own campaigns are not subject to limits. However, these contributions must be reported. Contributions from members of the candidate’s family are subject to the same limits that apply to any other individual, including contributions from a spouse or parent.

For more information, please visit the Using the personal funds of the candidate page on the FEC website.
