California Apartment Association Issues Committee made the largest contribution during this period, contributing $9 million to No on Property 21: Californians for Responsible Housing, a Coalition of Seniors, Veterans, Affordable Housing Advocates, Labor & Social Justice Organizations, Sponsored by California Apartment Association's campaign.
Political committees in California received over $1.5 billion in donations in 2022.
Political donations in the state are capped at $5,500 per election cycle for candidates running for the state legislature, such as Senators and Representatives. For gubernatorial candidates, the contribution limit is $36,400 per election cycle.
Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections.
