10 Campaign Spending Several billion dollars spent on campaigns in election years Significantly more spent in presidential election years Funds spent on staff, polling, travel, mass mailings, yard signs, websites, etc. Advertising (TV and radio) is the single biggest campaign expense -- by far

11 Sources of Campaign Funding
G&P Sources of Campaign Funding 7/29/2018 In the 2010 Congressional races, the sources of campaign contributions broke down as follows:[6] Source: Small Individual Contributors (individuals who contribute $200 or less) Large Individual Contributors (individuals who contribute more than $200) Political Action Committees Self-Financing (candidate's own money) Other House Democrats 9% 47% 38% 3% House Republicans 14% 48% 24% 12% Senate Democrats 53% 15% 8% Senate Republicans 18% 42% 20% Hand out “Money in Politics” handout Direct students to answer Background knowledge/brainstorming questions (#1-3) before proceeding Students should have some familiarity based on reading Chapter 7, section 3 Direct students to use chart to answer Question #4 Interesting note: Only about 10% of voters ever donate to a political campaign PACs raise and donate campaign funds to candidates – PACs are usually issue-based Also PUBLIC FINANCING, but only really a factor in presidential campaigns If presidential candidates take public financing, they cannot raise additional money This means they have a spending limit also In recent years, presidential candidates have declined public financing because they can raise and spend more on their own

12 Campaign Finance Regulations
Hard Money Contributed to candidates directly Limited in amount Must be reported (disclosure) Soft Money Contributed to political parties Unlimited amounts Not to be used directly for candidates 527s / Super PACs / 501(c)(4) organizations Independent expenditures only Little or no disclosure required
