Eliminating Leftover Expenses for Campaigns from Taxpayers (ELECT) Act of 2025

# ELECT Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Eliminating Leftover Expenses for Campaigns from Taxpayers (ELECT) Act of 2025 would restrict what candidates can do with leftover campaign funds. Currently, candidates can keep unspent money from their campaigns for personal use under certain conditions. This bill would change those rules, though the specific details of what restrictions it would impose are not detailed in the available information. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect federal candidates—those running for Congress and potentially other federal offices. It could also impact political committees and donors who contribute to campaigns.

The changes would apply to leftover funds after a campaign ends. **Current Status** The bill (HR 3311) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative W. Gregory Steube (R-FL) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. At this stage, the bill is under review and has not advanced further in the legislative process.
