Description

To amend Section 107.02 - Campaign Finance of the Columbus City Codes. ($0.00)

Summary

Columbus proposes amendments to City Code Chapter 107 governing campaign finance for candidates for mayor, city council, city auditor, and city attorney. Beginning January 1, 2027, individual contributions to a municipal campaign committee would be capped at half the state limit, currently $8,307.83, while contributions from one municipal campaign committee to another would be limited to twice the state individual limit, currently $32,231.34. The proposal also removes unlimited in-kind transfers between municipal committees. Other committees and political entities would face a $10,000 annual limit. The changes are part of broader election and government reforms and would affect candidates, campaign committees, donors, and voters by limiting certain funding flows and increasing accountability.
