Campaign finance requirements govern how much money candidates may receive from individuals and organizations, how often they must report those contributions, and how much individuals, organizations, and political entities may contribute to campaigns.

Last month, voters in Virginia elected Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin as the state’s new governor to replace Democrat Ralph Northam. With the election of Youngkin, voters chose a Republican as their governor for the first time since 2014, in a state Joe Biden carried in 2020 by over 10 points.
