What are the Campaign Contribution Limits in Yolo County?

Per Assembly Bill 571 (AB 571) which took effect on January 1, 2021, state campaign contribution limits apply by default to city and county candidates if their local jurisdiction has not already enacted their own contribution limits. Along with this change, there are also other related provisions that formerly applied only to state level candidates that will now apply to city and county candidates. See the AB 571: Local Contribution Limits Fact Sheet on the Campaign Rules page of the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) website for more details.

Please note that none of the provisions of AB 571 discussed in the fact sheet apply to candidates in cities or counties for which the city or county has enacted campaign contribution limits.
