individual's contribution or contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a single
election cycle. Contributions from corporations, government contractors, and foreign
nationals without a "green card" are prohibited. Any credit card information provided
for a one-time transaction will not be retained after the processing is complete.
- We do not retain your messages when you forward a message to a friend: The
committee website contains numerous opportunities for a visitor to forward documents,
photos, and messages to friends and family. Some features of the site may allow
you to store addresses for easy retrieval and reuse at a later time. This information
is stored for your convenience.
