Spokane Overhauls City’s Campaign Finance Laws
The Spokane City Council voted Monday to raise the individual donor limit to $1,000 and to clear redundancies in the city’s Fair Elections Code.
The council decided, due to advances in Washington’s campaign finance statutes, that the city’s current campaign finance laws created uncertainty and were redundant.
The council moved to incorporate the State’s definitions and current individual donor limit.
The new limit will take effect October 26, 2022.
