Chapter 7, Section 3 Money And Elections

Money plays a key role in politics, but it presents problems to democratic governments. The amount of money spent in races varies, but presidential campaigns collect and spend the most.

Parties and their candidates draw their money from two basic sources. Most campaign money comes from private sources, including individuals, families, candidates themselves, and political action committees (PACs).

Presidential candidates receive public subsidies, which are grants of money from federal and/or State treasuries. PAC’s are the political arms of special-interest groups.

These laws apply only to presidential and congressional elections. Federal campaign laws are administered by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

They require timely disclosure of campaign finance data and limit campaign contributions. Loopholes in campaign finance laws allow some candidates to avoid rules.

For instance, federal law neither limits nor requires the reporting of soft money, or money given to State and local party organizations for such “party- building activities” as voter registration or party mailings and advertisements.

The illustration below summarizes the different kinds of campaign fund sources.
