A. Candidates must establish a separate campaign account at a financial institution and may not deposit or co-mingle any Contributions into any personal or business account.
B. Campaign Funds cannot be spent for a Candidates or Candidate’s family’s personal use. If an expenditure is not related to a campaign or officeholder’s duties but rather benefits the candidate or candidate’s family, the expenditure is prohibited.
C. Payments made from joint accounts are attributed to the party who signed the check unless the check is signed by all parties on the check or a signed statement is provided that indicates the specific allocation to each person owing the account. Funds that are not transferred by a check (e.g. cash, debit card, electronic transfer) are attributable to the Candidate unless a signed statement is provided indicating a different allocation to each person owing the account.
D. Candidates may not use a campaign contribution if it is from an anonymous source and greater than $50. If a Candidate receives an anonymous contribution greater than $50, the Candidate must gift the money to the state, county, city, or a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization within 30 days of receiving the contribution.
