"Money changes everything." And nowhere is that statement taken to heart more than in a federal election, where billions of dollars are raised and spent on the understanding that money is a crucial determinant of whether or not a candidate will win.
First, it's clear that money counts in elections. The average winner in contests for House seats has outspent the average loser by at least $310,000, according to figures compiled by the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute.
An individual can contribute $3,300 at most to a candidate for federal office in a single election cycle. That means you can give $6,600 to a single candidate in an election year: $3,300 during the primary campaign, and $3,300 more during the general election. If you wish, you can make checks payable to Bergmann for Congress and mail to: Bergmann for Congress 4310 High Plains Road Memphis, TN 38135.
