Democrat Shenanigans: How is it legal for "local" political races to be "funded" by outsiders?

How is it legal for a political race of a local nature to be funded by "outsiders" from California or even Maryland and DC?
The Allison Friedman progressive agenda is being fueled from outside Virginia. As we (native Virginians) know, these are not "our" values or agenda, and we don't want to be like California (or Maryland, or DC, or...). We ARE Virginia.
How is this allowed, and should "outsiders" have such influence on a "local" race?

Forty-eight percent of Friedman’s donations came from California, while only 5 percent of her total came from donors who live in Virginia and only 4 percent from supporters who reside in nearby D.C., according to campaign-finance records.
The star-studded list of Democratic donors and celebrities from California and New York includes Barbra Streisand, actress Jennifer Garner, singer Bonnie Raitt, as well as George Soros, his son Alexander, and the Pritzker family—one of the richest families in the United States, best known for their ownership of the Hyatt hotel chain among other businesses.
Other West Coast donors include Bill Neukom, the former general partner of the San Francisco Giants, Peter Getty, grandson of the oil tycoon heir, and his wife, as well as singer Graham Nash.
D.C.-area notables who cut checks include: Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation; Donna Brazile, former head of the Democratic National Committee; Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland who is Robert Kennedy’s oldest child; and Adrian Fenty, D.C.’s former mayor.

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR RIGHT-WING ASSHOLES: It's a free country, or at least it's supposed to be. Fuck Trump, by the way.

Yeah it’s not like the GOP/GOP donors dont do the same thing...ohhi get it. It’s only okay when YOUR side does it. When it’s the other side you have fake outrage.

Cite me a candidate for the "other side" where this happened in Northern VA? Please provide facts.
I'll listen, but bring facts.

I think he meant in general.Dark money is used by both parties, not just Dems. A quick trip to OpenSecrets will show you that.
