The constitutionality limits on Alaska campaign contributions is challenged in a new federal lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Three individuals and the local chapter of the Alaska Republican Party filed the lawsuit against the Executive Director and board of the Alaska Public Offices Commission, which enforces state political financing laws.
The suit alleges that four aspects of campaign laws violate the U.S Constitution:
- A $500 limit on individual contributions to a candidate.
- A $500 limit on individual contributions to a group.
- The $3,000 limit on out-of-state contributions.
- Limits on political party contributions.
Kevin Clarkson, an attorney representing the group, said he plans to file an injunction that would halt some contribution limits until the issue is settled.
