There have been $10,650 total contributions made to political candidates and committees by Dorsey & Whitney LLP employees, 71.8 percent of which have gone to the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party causes and candidates.
Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, eleven states have no limits on how much can be contributed to a candidate by individual donors, while the other 39 states often limit the amount someone can contribute based on the office the candidate is running for.
