hate to ask a dumb question but what happens to campaign $$ once the campaign ends?

[nomadic5]

I know there are laws governing how the $$ is spent but what happens when the campaign ends and there is $$ left over? Or maybe there is none left over because the candidate usually spends it all?

just wondering

Lots of options

• Donations to charities as long as the candidate does not receive any compensation from the organizations before it is spent and the donation is not used by the charity to benefit the candidate.
• A donation of a maximum of $2,000 to another federal candidate, and donations to state or local candidates—all subject to state law.
• Gift/donations of nominal value on special occasions to anyone besides the candidate's family.
• Unlimited transfers to a local, state, or national political party committee like the Democratic or Republican National Committees.
• Transfer to a future election campaign committee of the same candidate. For example, Bernie Sanders transferred $12.7 million from previous campaigns to his 2020 presidential committee.
• Create a Leadership PAC to back other candidates and a political agenda. Critics say these can be used as slush funds since there are fewer restrictions.

well, it is hard work lying for a living

hard to remember all the lies and keep track of them in case anyone is paying attention (fortunately few in DC are, since they, like the bern, are also on the take)

A person who looks cheap and/or has questionable character.

Jerry Nadler is a fine example of a dem slag.

A better question is what happens when (mostly democrat) political candidates take dirty money from a bit-coin scammer? Are they required to pay back investors and will they face criminal charges if they knew the donations consisted of money defrauded from Americans who were scammed?

He's worked for the American people every day in the Senate, so much more so than any other Senator in America. Not that your shriveled brain can comprehend that.

LMAO

ok. The only problem is, Nadler et al do not have questionable character because no one questions that they have no character.

If any D ever does, he keeps it to himself for the sake of... what else?

PARTY!

WINNING!

soul-less creatures

he is dishonest as hell ("the bern")

calls himself a socialist.. Wait, maybe a communist, even

But after being elected, he bought up several houses and made deals w/ corporations that made him very wealthy. He and his wife have both done very questionable things.

But hey, it's all about appearances with libs, isn't it? I'm sure you rationalize his little faults away, won't you? For the sake of party! It's all about party! My party, right or wrong!

I hear she has to step around a lot of homeless people on her way to her mansion. The poor thing

Although the candidate can not use campaign funds for personal spending, he or she can make significant contribution to other candidates and parties in exchange for political favors. He can donate the money to certain organization that benefit him. When the public makes contributions to a candidate they expect their money to be used by the candidate for his or her election, not to support other candidate and other issues. Our elections laws are just plain stupid, they have huge loop holes in them to benefit of course the candidates that can raise a lot money.

American have long accepted the idea that politicians need to spend huge amounts of money to provide the public information to make intelligent choices which is total bullshit.
