Commission certifies additional federal matching funds for Mike Pence

July 30, 2024

The Federal Election Commission has certified a payment of $617,373.99 in federal matching funds to Mike Pence and Mike Pence for President (MPFP). Mike Pence had previously sought the Republican Party nomination for President in the 2024 election.

To become eligible for matching funds, candidates must raise a threshold amount of $100,000 by collecting $5,000 in 20 different states in amounts no greater than $250 from any individual. Other requirements to be declared eligible include agreeing to an overall spending limit, abiding by spending limits in each state, using public funds only for legitimate campaign-related expenses, keeping financial records and permitting an extensive campaign audit.

Based on Commission certification of MPFP’s initial threshold submission for matching funds in May, the Commission requested that the United States Treasury make an initial payment of $100,000 to MPFP. The amount requested from the Treasury following the Commission’s certification this week brings the total for the Pence campaign to $717,373.99.

Materials included with MPFP’s submission may be viewed here. Once declared eligible, campaigns may submit additional contributions for matching funds on the first business day of every month.
