Financial Reporting

Whenever a campaign has either received or spent $750, it triggers a requirement for candidates to file a campaign finance report.

All candidates - no matter how much money is raised -- must file a final campaign finance report seven days after the election.

Forms are included in the Campaign Finance Manual.  (*2020 electronic filing is allowed)
