Here are the 50 California political committees that received the largest financial contributions during the week ending Nov. 9, according to the California Secretary of State. Together, they received $2 million in political contributions, 78.5% of all donations in the state.

Soria for Assembly 2024 received the highest sum during this period, with a total of $329,714 in donations.

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.
