Zwiener proposes bill to limit state campaign contributions

By Sahar Chmais 

Limiting campaign contributions for state officials and state candidates is the goal set by State Rep. Erin Zwiener (D-Driftwood).

House Bill 121, introduced by Zwiener, proposes to limit contributions to $5,000 per election, per individual, and $10,000 per election, per political action committee (PAC). Texas has no contribution limit for state candidates and is one of 11 states without a campaign limit for state-level offices.
