Question
Can I be reimbursed for the personal funds I spend on my campaign?
Answer

Reimbursements for the candidate's out-of-pocket campaign expenses must be made within three weeks or the reimbursement counts against the candidate's loan repayment limit. A candidate can be repaid up to $7,500 for primary election loans and $7,500 for general election loans. A candidate's contributions to his or her own campaign should be reported as loans in order to be eligible for repayment.
