Alaska Regulations § 2 AAC 50.324 Shared campaign activities

Up to Article 1: Campaign Disclosure

Regulation Text

(a) This section applies to a candidate, a group, and a nongroup entity except
(1) a political party; and
(2) the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor that a political party has nominated to run in the general election.
(b) A candidate, group, or nongroup entity may share in a campaign effort with another candidate, group, or nongroup entity. If the costs and receipts from a shared effort are allocated equally to each participant in a shared campaign effort, there is no contribution from one participant to another. Each candidate, group, and nongroup entity shall keep separate campaign records documenting costs and receipts of a shared campaign effort.
(c) If an expenditure for a shared campaign effort is not allocated equally to each participant, a proportionate share of any expenditure that benefits a candidate, group, or nongroup entity other than the candidate, group, or nongroup entity paying for the effort is a contribution by
(1) the paying candidate to the other candidate;
(2) the paying group to the other group; or
(3) the paying nongroup entity to the other nongroup entity.
(d) An expenditure made by a group on behalf of another group that is controlled by a candidate is a contribution, and may not exceed $1,000 as provided in AS 15.13.070 .
(e) For any shared campaign effort with a combined cost exceeding $1,000, including the cost of fundraising activities and campaign media consulting services, each candidate, group, or nongroup entity subject to this section shall report the candidate's, group's, or nongroup entity's share of the receipts and expenditures on a shared campaign activities form prescribed by the commission. A candidate, group, or nongroup entity may not file a joint report with another candidate, group, or nongroup entity.
(f) Media communications about a shared campaign activity must include the words "paid for by" and the name of each candidate, group, or nongroup entity sharing in the cost of the communications, but need not list the address of each participating candidate, group, or nongroup entity. However, if one participant pays the full cost of a communication, then the communication must comply with AS 15.13.090 (a) and 2 AAC 50.306 .
