“Judge Rejects Challenge to FEC Limits On Campaign Contributions Per Election”

Bloomberg BNA:

A federal judge in Washington has rejected a challenge to federal campaign finance laws that limit an individual’s campaign contributions to candidates to $2,600 for the primary election and $2,600 for the general election (Holmes v. FEC, D. D.C., Civil No. 14-1243,preliminary injunction denied, 10/20/14).
A lawsuit filed by attorneys at the nonprofit Center for Competitive Politics on behalf of contributors Laura Holmes and her husband Paul Jost said the couple wanted to donate to challengers who prevailed in primaries. The couple did not donate to those challengers before the primaries, and Holmes and Jost each wanted to give more than $2,600 per candidate for the general election.
