US HB4912

Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to allow campaign funds to pay for child care, elder care, dependent care services, and health insurance premiums when necessary for candidates to participate in campaign activities

Candidates already holding federal office cannot use campaign funds for health insurance premiums under this provision

Services must be necessary to enable participation in campaign-connected activities or to carry out duties as a federal officeholder to qualify as authorized expenditures

Introduced August 5, 2025 by Rep. Williams of Georgia with 33 Democratic cosponsors and referred to the House Administration Committee

Addresses finding that current personal use restrictions on campaign funds disadvantage non-wealthy candidates, with Congress citing that median lawmaker net worth in 2013 was $1 million—18 times the typical American household
