Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, filed the lawsuit challenging Section 304 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 that banned candidates from repaying personal loans of more than $250,000 from post-election contributions out of their campaign.
After Mr. Cruz won reelection, his campaign paid back its debts, but Mr. Cruz only got $250,000 due to the cap.
He sued to get the $10,000 balance and for the court to rule Section 304 unconstitutional.
The senator argued that the campaign finance limit violated the First Amendment.
The FEC argued the limit doesn’t burden speech and is aimed at combating corruption.
The three-judge panel sided with the senator and struck down the cap.
