Federal Individual Contribution Limits — Ed Gallrein for Congress (GALLREIN, ED)

Gallrein is a U.S. House candidate (Kentucky 4th, FEC id H6KY04171) running for the 2026 cycle, with @committee-062bc16a-4d02-4064-8949-703735839a58 (GALLREIN FOR CONGRESS) as his principal campaign committee. Federal contribution limits to a candidate committee, per individual, per election (2025–2026 cycle, indexed under 52 U.S.C. § 30116):

| Source | Limit per election | |---|---| | Individual → candidate committee | $3,500 | | Multicandidate PAC → candidate committee | $5,000 | | Non-multicandidate (non-qualified) PAC → candidate committee | $3,500 | | National party committee → candidate committee | $5,000 | | Individual → GALLREIN VICTORY FUND GALLREIN VICTORY FUND (JFC) | passes through at each component's limit |

Key mechanics for the $3,500 individual cap:

• "Per election" means primary and general are separate — one donor can give $3,500 for the primary + $3,500 for the general = $7,000 aggregate to the candidate for the 2026 cycle. A runoff or special would be a third separate election.
• Spouses each have their own $3,500 limit (joint check from a couple → $7,000/election allowed if both sign).
• Cash contributions capped at $100; anonymous cash capped at $50; anything ≥ $200 must itemize donor name/address/employer/occupation on Schedule A.

Receipts from Gallrein's own filings — every one of his top reported donors hit the cap exactly:

• DAVIS, ELIZABETH DAVIS, ELIZABETH — $3,500 (2025-11-04)
• DAVIS, JAY DAVIS, JAY — $3,500 (2025-11-04)
• GOLDMAN, AARON GOLDMAN, AARON — $3,500 (2025-11-04)
• RADOW, NORMAN RADOW, NORMAN — $3,500 (2025-11-04)
• ROBINSON, RUSS ROBINSON, RUSS — $3,500 (2025-11-03)

That's the 2025–2026 primary-election individual maximum — these donors are now maxed for the primary but each has another $3,500 available for the general.

Recommended next moves:

• Pull GALLREIN VICTORY FUND GALLREIN VICTORY FUND to see who else is in the JFC and what the allocation formula is (JFC pass-through can layer party + PAC + candidate limits in one check).
• Compare donor list against @committee-062bc16a's Schedule A history to flag any donor exceeding the per-election cap (refund-required scenario).
