The city of Columbus is considering establishing contribution limits for political campaigns as well as regulations to address the disclosure of “dark money” donors. Yes We Can Columbus wants to hear from you. Will you share your feedback on three questions below related to donation limit amounts, public financing of elections, and dark money in local elections?

Before getting started, please include your contact information below. We plan to share the results of the survey with you and Columbus City Council. We need your email address to confirm that you're a real person and to send you the results of this survey, but we will not add you to our mailing list without your explicit permission. If you choose not to opt in, your contact information will not be saved after the survey is concluded.

Without your name and valid email address, we unfortunately cannot include your responses in the survey results (this is a measure to protect the integrity of the data, and to discourage individuals from submitting multiple responses, insofar as that is possible).

Part I: Campaign Contribution Limits

The campaign finance limits set by cities vary widely across the country, and some towns and cities have no limits at all. However, Columbus is currently the largest city in the country that doesn’t regulate the amount of campaign donations. The limits for the 13 cities larger than Columbus range from a low of $350 (Austin) to a high of $6,350 (Phoenix) for an individual donor.
