The Janesville Republican who represents the congressional district in southeastern Wisconsin has amassed a significant war chest as he faces his first serious political challenge.
Facing his most serious challenge since he was first elected in 2018, Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Janesville) is sitting on a large pile of campaign cash, at more than $4.7 million.
See a list of his top donors in this election cycle below.
Donations to candidates for federal offices from individuals are capped at $3,300 per election, so a person can give a candidate for Congress a max of $6,600 per election cycle, as it includes both a primary and a general. Political Action Committees that give to multiple candidates can donate up to $5,000 per election, for a total of $10,000 per election cycle.
When a candidate or committee receives contributions that exceed the legal maximum, they have 60 days to refund the overage, according to federal law. And campaigns and committees sometimes make errors on their campaign finance filings with the Federal Elections Commission, which can be amended.
Important note: the PACs of businesses cannot take money from their own coffers, per federal law. They must raise the money, which often comes from their executives and other employees.
