If a candidate who fundraises doesn't end up spending everything on the campaign – does the balance get refunded? Or is it like recal stuff?
You could roll it over to another (non-federal) campaign
Probably moot. You think there might be someone who’s donated to Lopez? . . .
Theoretically, it could be saved for the next campaign, I spose? Or, it’ll eventually just get inherited by Ivanka, Eric, Ijut jr., et all — maybe Vladimir — I dunno’ . . .
Federal campaigns are limited:
Colorado Secretary of State document says mostly the same — see pp. 17-18 of Colorado Campaign and Political Finance Manual
ooh, schnap, Pols.
To answer a question above about what can be done with unused campaign funds: since the funds can be donated to a charity, this is why these people go to the trouble of setting up non-profit “educational “ organizations. They become their very own favorite charity.
That way, they can essentially donate to themselves or their family members, using salaries, office space rental which just happens to be in the candidate’s home, and “operational expenses”, or “consulting”.
This form of self dealing is very common- Dudley Brown of RMGO used it, Pa and the boy Nevilles have, Gordon Klingenschmitt did. I can look up old links if anyone’s curious. Maybe Secretary of State Griswold can tighten this up somehow, but for now, the loopholes are big enough to drive a truck through.
