Cypress Officials Lower Campaign Contribution Limits

Cypress city leaders are looking to tighten campaign finance regulation for candidates running for city council ahead of November’s midterm elections.

While the city currently defers to the state’s default limit of $5,900 per donor, per election, council members are eyeing a new limit of $1,250.

Councilmembers approved that new limit in a 4-1 vote during their Tuesday night meeting. It will still need a second approval from city council members, and it would go into effect 30 days after that.

Councilmember David Burke brought the item forward after drafting the changes with the city attorney. It was also discussed at the council’s meeting last month.
