CAP Act

This bill would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to set a yearly spending limit for campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives. The main campaign committee of a candidate for Representative, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner could not spend more in a year than a set amount. That amount would equal the average that House Members had available in the previous year from the Members' Representational Allowance, which is the office budget each Member receives.
