In July, a three-judge panel struck down Alaska’s individual campaign contribution limit of $500 per candidate each year. Now the Alaska House is debating a bill that would bring campaign contribution limits back to the state.
Reps. Dan Ortiz, I-Ketchikan; Andy Josephson, D-Anchorage; and Bart LeBon, R-Fairbanks, talk during a break on March 14, 2022, in the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau, Alaska. The Alaska House of Representatives was considering amendments to House Bill 234, which would reinstitute limits on campaign contributions in the state.
Anchorage Democratic Rep. Andy Josephson supports reinstituting limits. On Monday, he proposed amending the bill to lower the individual limit to $1,500. Adjusting for inflation, that would be similar to a limit approved by 73% of Alaska voters in 2006.
