The Arizona Secretary of State's office has formulated new campaign contribution limits for statewide, legislative and local campaigns. These are valid for the 2011 - 2012 election cycle for Arizona races. Races for Federal offices have their own limits, published by the Federal Election Commission.
The limits are set under ARS 16-905. While the limits were specifically set in the statute initially, paragraph H of the statute creates a mechanism for biennial adjustments.
The new AZ limits -
Individual contributions to a candidate:
Local - $430
Legislative - $424
Statewide - $872
Political committee contributions to a candidate:
Local - $430
Legislative - $424
Statewide - $872
Committees certified by the AZSOS as "SuperPACs":
Local - $2170
Legislative - $1736
Statewide - $4352
Combined total from all political committees other than political parties:
Local - $10880
Legislative - $14032
Statewide - $86952
Nominee's total from political party and all political organizations combined:
Local - $10880
Legislative - $8704
Statewide - $86952
Total contributed by an individual to candidates and committees who give to candidates:
$6100 per calendar year
The new federal limits are here.
While I won't list them all, the important one for most readers is the individual contribution limit to a candidate - $2500, for each of the primary election and for the general election ($5000 total).
