Court nixes some caps for Alaska campaign contributions By BECKY BOHRERAugust 3, 2021 GMT JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A divided federal appeals court panel has struck down several campaign contribution caps in Alaska, including a $500-a-year limit on what an individual can give a candidate. The decision, released Friday, also struck down a $500-a-year limit on individual contributions to non-party groups and the $3,000-a-year cap on total nonresident donations a candidate for office like state House can raise. It upheld as constitutional a $5,000 limit on what political parties can contribute to municipal candidates. A statement from the Alaska Department of Law says it has two weeks to decide whether to seek review by a larger panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If the state does not file a petition, the ruling would take effect seven days after the filing deadline.
