Large Political Committees
On March 21, 2023 the Sacramento City Council approved changes to the City's contribution limits, and will be effective on April 20, 2023. The City Code will be changed at that time to reflect the update. The proposed changes can be viewed here.
The City of Sacramento has adopted regulations limiting the amount of contributions that individuals may give to candidates for the offices of Mayor and Council Member. These limits are outlined in City Code section 2.13.050 (A) and (B). For committees who qualify as a "Large Political Committee", the limits are higher.
