Supreme Court Releases Opinion in FEC v. Ted Cruz
On May 16, 2022, the United States Supreme Court released
its opinion in FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate, et. al. In a 6-
3 ruling, the Court found that a provision of the
Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which caps at
$250,000 the amount of funds a candidate's authorized
campaign committee receives post-election that can be used
to repay a personal loan the candidate made to the
committee, is unconstitutional because it violates
candidates and their campaigns' First Amendment rights.
