Campaign donor limit inches $100 higher
- Share via
The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to raise the limit on political contributions for all county candidates to $1,600, an increase of $100.
Orange County’s campaign finance law allows supervisors to raise the limit on donations in odd-numbered years in line with the increase in the consumer price index. The new limit is scheduled to take effect in March and will not apply to the special election next week to fill the vacant seat on the board.
