527 Donations

VPAP has posted 2 donations from "527 Groups" since last Wednesday.

  • $100,000 from the Democratic Attorney General's Assn to Shannon for AG
  • 50,000 from Republican State Legislative Committee to Villanueva for Delegate


Show All 527 Donations

527 groups raise money for political activity such as voter mobilization and issue advocacy. As long as they stop short of expressly advocating the election or defeat of a specific federal candidate, 527 groups are not subject to contribution limits imposed by the Federal Elections Commission. 527s have become a convenient way for corporations, labor unions and special interests to flow unlimited contributions into the political process.

The 2009 Virginia elections are the first test of a state law aimed at bringing greater transparency to 527 activities in state politics.
