A proposal to raise Oakland’s campaign contribution limits from $700 to $1,000 was defeated last night when it failed to earn enough votes. The proposal, which also would have raised the donation limits for PACs from $1,300 to $1,600, needed five votes to pass, but it only garnered three. Voting for the measure was council President Jane Brunner and council members Ignacio De La Fuente and Larry Reid. Council members Rebecca Kaplan, Pat Kernighan, Nancy Nadel, and Jean Quan all voted no. Councilwoman Desley Brooks was absent.
