10A.25 SPENDING LIMITS.
Subdivision 1.Limits are voluntary.
The expenditure limits imposed by this section apply only to a candidate who has signed an agreement under section 10A.322 to be bound by them as a condition of receiving a public subsidy for the candidate's campaign.
Subd. 2.Amounts.
(a) In a segment of an election cycle, the principal campaign committee of the candidate must not make campaign expenditures nor permit approved expenditures to be made on behalf of the candidate that result in aggregate expenditures in excess of the following:
(1) for governor and lieutenant governor, running together, $3,817,700 in the election segment and $1,636,200 in the nonelection segment;
(2) for attorney general, $654,600 in the election segment and $218,300 in the nonelection segment;
(3) for secretary of state and state auditor, separately, $436,400 in the election segment and $109,200 in the nonelection segment;
(4) for state senator, $94,700 in the election segment and $32,800 in a nonelection segment;
(5) for state representative, $65,500 in the election segment.
(d) The expenditure limits in this subdivision for an office are increased by ten percent for a candidate who has not previously held the same office, whose name has not previously been on the primary or general election ballot for that office, and who has not in the past ten years raised or spent more than $750 in a run for any other office whose territory now includes a population that is more than one-third of the population in the territory of the new office. Candidates who qualify for first-time candidate status receive a ten percent increase in the campaign expenditure limit in all segments of the applicable election cycle. In the case of a legislative candidate, the office is that of a member of the house of representatives or senate without regard to any specific district.
Subd. 2a.Aggregated expenditures.
If a candidate makes expenditures from more than one principal campaign committee for nomination or election to statewide office in the same segment of an election cycle, the amount of expenditures from all of the candidate's principal campaign committees for statewide office for that segment of the election cycle must be aggregated for purposes of applying the limits on expenditures under subdivision 2.
Subd. 3.Governor and lieutenant governor a single candidate.
For the purposes of this chapter, a candidate for governor and a candidate for lieutenant governor, running together, are considered a single candidate. Except as provided in subdivision 2, paragraph (b), all expenditures made by or all approved expenditures made on behalf of the candidate for lieutenant governor are considered to be expenditures by or approved expenditures on behalf of the candidate for governor.
Subd. 3a.Independent expenditures.
[Repealed by amendment, 1999 c 220 s 30]
Subd. 5.Contested primary races.
Notwithstanding the limits imposed by subdivision 2, the winning candidate in a contested race in a primary who received fewer than twice as many votes as any one of the candidate's opponents in that primary may make expenditures and permit approved expenditures to be made on behalf of the candidate equal to 120 percent of the applicable limit as set forth in subdivision 2, but no more than 100 percent of the limit until after the primary.
[Repealed, 2013 c 138 art 1 s 55]
Subd. 10.Effect of opponent's conduct.
