Meanwhile, Newsom\u2019s challengers are hamstrung by campaign contribution limits of $32,400 per election in their direct accounts. This is because the recall is treated not as a candidate-based election, but rather a ballot issue, Politico noted.<\/p>\n<p>Hastings\u2019 donation serves as an example of how much money Newsom could raise from Democratic allies throughout the Golden State, particularly in northern California\u2019s Bay Area and Silicon Valley.
