What it does
The Help America Run Act would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to allow campaign funds to be used for child care, elder care, health insurance premiums, and similar personal use services when necessary for a candidate to participate in campaign activities or fulfill federal office duties. This change aims to reduce financial barriers for everyday Americans—particularly working parents, caregivers, and those reliant on employment for health insurance—who might otherwise be unable to run for office due to personal expenses. The bill explicitly excludes health insurance premiums for candidates already holding federal office. The amendments would take effect upon enactment.
