US Senate Federal Election Commission reports

Now for pointers to the candidates for US Senate. These will presented in alphabetic order. The candidates name will be a link to a list of available reports at the Federal Election Commission. Donations will link to a list of individual and PAC contributors. According to this page, the Senate files all reports in paper, so links to a PDF of the candidates’s pre-primary will be given. Will be unable to give links to its contents, such as the ever interesting list of campaign expenses.

The numbers come from the FEC’s summary pages which cover all activity from January 1, 2007 to May 14, 2008.

Earl Mack Gavin has recieved $12,145 in unitemized individual donations, none from individuals, none from PACs. He has donated $3,286 to his campaign and refunded $100. He has spent $15,381 and is -$237 in on hand cash. His pre-primary report is available.

While it is highly likely Ms Figures will win her party’s nomination, she, possibly like the tortoise, has been slow off the mark in this race.
