Permanent residents, including conditional permanent residents, may contribute to U.S. election campaigns. Non-citizens who are not permanent residents may not.
Conditional permanent residents are immigrants who received immigrant visas based on marriage or investment. In marriage cases, the immigrant receives only conditional residence when he or she became a resident within two years of the marriage. Conditional permanent residents have all the rights and benefits of other immigrants, including the right to contribute to electoral campaigns. Of course, you cannot vote until you become a U.S. citizen, but you can donate money and work in support of your favored candidate.
