CAP Act Campaign Accountability and Parity Act
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to establish an expenditure limit with respect to candidates for the House of Representatives.
This bill, HB9726, proposes to change the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 by setting a limit on how much money candidates for the House of Representatives can spend during their campaigns. This change is aimed at ensuring that House races do not become too expensive, potentially making it easier for a wider range of candidates to run.
The bill would impact all candidates running for seats in the House of Representatives. By capping campaign spending, it seeks to level the playing field, so that smaller donors and candidates with less access to large financial contributions have a fairer chance to compete.
As of the last update, HB9726 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration for further review. The bill is in its initial stages, and its future progress will depend on the committee's actions and any subsequent votes in the House.
