Campaign materials, including media advertisements, produced and distributed on behalf of one candidate which contain images of, appearances by, or references to another candidate, but which do not mention the candidacy of the other candidate or make a direct or indirect appeal for support of the other candidate, are not contributions to, or expenditures on behalf of that candidate.
A candidate who produces and distributes campaign materials, including media advertisements, which include images of, appearances by, or references to one or more other candidates, and which mention the candidacy of the other candidates or include a direct or indirect appeal for the support of the other candidates must collect from each of the other candidates a reasonable proportion of the production and distribution costs.
