I am interested in understanding more about the legislation governing corporations campaign contributions at the State level, and how this may differ to the Federal level.
Specifically, it is my understanding that at the federal level, firms are prevented by the FEC from making direct campaign contributions to candidates (although they can e.g. manage corporate PACs, in turn deciding where to allocate contributions made by employees to the firm's PAC [and the firms can cover the running cost of managing a corporate PAC]). Are there any similar restrictions preventing firms from directly contribution to candidates campaigns at the State level, where i assume the FEC doesn't have juristiction?
