Att'y Gen. Op. 188-063 to the Honorable Gary Giordano, who is no longer a member of the Arizona House of Representatives. We are, therefore, directing our clarification of that opinion to you. In that opinion we concluded that Arizona law does not prohibit candidates from accepting contributions from foreign citizens as long as all other limitations or requirements of the Arizona contributions and expenses statutes are complied with. We clarify that opinion by noting that federal law prohibits foreign nationals1 from making campaign contributions to Arizona candidates. The primary federal provision on contributions by foreign nationals is found in 2 U.S.C. § 441e which provides: IThe term foreign national includes a foreign principal, as defined in 22 U.S.C. § 611(b) or an individual not lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States, but it does not include any individual who is a citizen of the United States. 11 C.F.R. § 110.4(a)(3).
