Campaign spending: Top Q4 political donation recipients in Maine in 2021

Campaigncheck05

These Maine political organizations received the most money from campaign donations from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2021, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. The Government Accountability Office reviews current campaign finance law and makes recommendations for keeping the laws relevant.
