CAP Act
The Campaign Accountability and Parity Act sets a strict annual spending limit for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives. This limit is calculated based on the average amount of money previously provided to sitting members of Congress for their official duties. By capping campaign expenditures at this specific figure, the bill directly restricts how much money individual House candidates can spend on their election campaigns each year.
