    Answer: Because the issuer official no longer holds elected office, the contribution limits of Rule G-37 do not apply.

    Explanation:

    Rule G-37 is a way to ensure that Municipal Issuers are not unduly influenced by those who donated to their campaigns to get into a position to become Municipal Issuers.

    It prohibites for 2 years, Municipal Finance Professionals (MFP) amongst others from engaging in municipal securities business with a Municipal issuer.

    An exception however, is that if the MFP is entitled to a vote for the Official in question, they can donate no more than $250 per election.

    Seeing as the Municipal Issuer Officer has lost her position, the MFP need not worry about this $250 limit as it no longer applies to her. The MFP is free to donate $500 to the "clean-up" campaign.
