Sec. 109.23  Dissemination, distribution, or republication of candidate campaign materials.

    (a) General rule. The financing of the dissemination, distribution, 
or republication, in whole or in part, of any broadcast or any written, 
graphic, or other form of campaign materials prepared by the candidate, 
the candidate's authorized committee, or an agent of either of the 
foregoing shall be considered a contribution for the purposes of 
contribution limitations and reporting responsibilities of the person 
making the expenditure. The candidate who prepared the campaign material 
does not receive or accept an in-kind contribution, and is not required 
to report an expenditure, unless the dissemination, distribution, or 
republication of campaign materials is a coordinated communication under 
11 CFR 109.21 or a party coordinated communication under 11 CFR 109.37.
    (b) Exceptions. The following uses of campaign materials do not 
constitute a contribution to the candidate who originally prepared the 
materials:
    (1) The campaign material is disseminated, distributed, or 
republished by the candidate, the candidate's authorized committee, or 
an agent of either of the foregoing who prepared that material;
    (2) The campaign material is incorporated into a communication that 
advocates the defeat of the candidate or party that prepared the 
material;
    (3) The campaign material is disseminated, distributed, or 
republished in a news story, commentary, or editorial exempted under 11 
CFR 100.73 or 11 CFR 100.132;
    (4) The campaign material used consists of a brief quote of 
materials that demonstrate a candidate's position as part of a person's 
expression of its own views; or
    (5) A national political party committee or a State or subordinate 
political party committee pays for such dissemination, distribution, or 
republication of campaign materials using coordinated party expenditure 
authority under 11 CFR 109.32.
