Stop Act

This measure, called the Stop Act, would ban people who hold federal office from directly asking anyone for campaign donations or money used for federal election activity. They could still take part in fundraisers—planning them, attending, speaking, or being the featured guest—but they cannot make written or spoken requests for money at those events. It also updates related rules tied to attending state and local party fundraisers to fit this change.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People who currently hold federal office.
• What changes: No direct fundraising asks for political committees or federal election activity; participation in fundraisers is still allowed without asking for money.
• When: Applies to solicitations made on or after the day it becomes law.
