The limit on contributions is $2,500 per election cycle on contributions by any person or committee to a candidate for the General Assembly. The limit is $5,000 per election cycle to a candidate for the General Assembly who declares as a Campaign Finance Reform Act Candidate and agrees to abide by the expenditure limits set out in the Act. The expenditure limit for a candidate for the House of Delegates is $125,000 in an election year and for a candidate for the Senate is $250,000 in an election year.
