[Lnc-business] FW: Ebke Request

Fri Apr 13 12:54:57 EDT 2018
The Federal Election Campaign Act imposes no limits on contributions
from national party committees to non-federal candidates.
I checked the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission's
website for reporting requirements. "Major out-of-state contributors"
have to file a state report, except committees registered with the
Federal Election Commission do not need to file the state report.
