A federal judge has ruled some parts of a New Mexico campaign finance law limiting the amount of money state political parties can give are unconstitutional.
The limits on candidate donations were lower compared to other states’ limits and lower than limits upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, according to Johnson.
But the judge dismissed the suit’s challenge to a $27,500 cutoff on contributions from individuals and entities to state political parties. He also left intact a $27,500 limit on contributions from national political parties to state political parties for federal elections. Representatives at the state Attorney General’s Office, which defended the state, immediately responded Thursday to the newspaper’s requests seeking comment.
