FAQs – State Level Campaign Contribution

Are corporate campaign contributions allowed?

Yes, beginning on June 1, 2011 corporate contributions are allowed to be made to candidates and PACs in Tennessee. Corporations making campaign contributions totaling over $1,000 in the aggregate to candidates in a calendar year must register as a PAC and file campaign financial disclosure reports.

Are there limits on the amount of contributions that may be given to a PAC?

No, there are no limits on the amount of contributions that may be made to a PAC.

What are the dollar limitations on what may be contributed to a candidate running for office?

Pursuant to the Campaign Contribution Limits Act of 1995, T.C.A. 2-10-301, et seq., there are limits on how much monies that a person or a PAC may contribute to a candidate’s campaign per election and how much monies that a candidate may accept for an election from a person or PAC. Those dollar limitations are based on the office sought by the candidate. Please use the following link to find current PAC limits listed on www.tn.gov.

¹Political Party PACs include those committees controlled by a political party on the national, state or local level and caucuses of a political party established by members of either house of the General Assembly. T.C.A. § 2-10-306

²Other State Offices includes Criminal Court Judges, Circuit Court Judges, Chancellors, Probate Court Judges, District Attorney Generals and Public Defenders. T.C.A. § 2-10-102(13)

For purposes of dollar limitations, a primary election, general election, run-off election or special election are each considered a separate election with separate contribution limits. For example, a candidate for state house in the August primary election could accept $1,800 from John Doe, and if a runoff election is required, the candidate could accept another $1,800 from John Doe for the runoff election. Further, if the candidate is successful in the runoff election and also runs in the general election, he/she could accept another $1,800 from John Doe for the general election.

An individual may give a maximum of $50 in currency (cash) to any candidate or PAC. Contributions exceeding $50 per election must be made by check, money order or other written instrument.
