*’campaign finance’ in the ‘united states’ is the ‘financing’ of ‘electoral campaigns’ at the — ‘federal’ / ‘state’ / ‘local’ — levels*
.
(at the ‘federal level’, ‘campaign finance law’ is enacted by ‘congress’ + enforced by the ‘federal election commission’ (FEC), an ‘independent federal agency’)
(although most ‘campaign spending’ is ‘privately financed’, ‘public financing’ is available for ‘qualifying candidates’ for ‘president of the united states’ during both the ‘primaries’ + the ‘general election’)
(‘eligibility requirements’ must be fulfilled to qualify for a ‘government subsidy’, and those that do accept ‘government funding’ are usually subject to ‘spending limits’ on ‘money’)
(races for ‘non-federal offices’ are governed by ‘state’ + ‘local’ law)
(over half the states allow some level of ‘corporate’ + ‘union’ contributions)
(some states have limits on contributions from individuals that are lower than the ‘national limits’, while 4 states (‘missouri’ / ‘oregon’ / ‘utah’ / ‘virginia’) have no limits at all)
.
(applies primarily to campaigns for ‘federal office’)
