During the 2011–12 election cycle, the aggregate limit for individual contributions to all party committees and noncandidate PACs was $70,800.1
These limits were established under the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), which regulated campaign finance contributions. The case of McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission challenged these aggregate restrictions, arguing that they infringed upon First Amendment freedoms and were no longer necessary to prevent corruption given subsequent legislative amendments.1
