No can do: he is limited in raising funds for even state law purposes to federally permissible sources and limits. Keep in mind that BRCA specifically limits in this way federal candidate/officeholder fundraising for state and local candidates: also a "pure" state and local electoral objective. The BRCA concern is not with the nature of the electoral objective but the character of the money and the related threat of "beholden" officeholders.
