Legislative Candidate Statement Information

This Voter Information Guide covers statewide ballot measures. Each State Senate and Assembly office relates to voters in only one or a few counties, so some candidate statements may be available in your county sample ballot booklet.

Proposition 34, approved by voters in November 2000, established voluntary spending limits for candidates running for state legislative office. Legislative candidates who choose to keep their campaign expenses under specified dollar amounts may purchase space in county sample ballot booklets for a 250-word candidate statement.

Candidates who have voluntarily chosen to limit their spending in campaigns for State Senate may spend no more than $724,000 in a primary election and $1,086,000 in a general election. Assembly candidates may spend no more than $483,000 in a primary election and $845,000 in a general election.

To view a list of legislative candidates who have accepted the campaign spending limits, go to www.sos.ca.gov/elections/candidate_stmts/prop34-nov08-082808-final.pdf.
