Later Today: Local Candidates File Campaign Finance Disclosures
Today is the deadline for candidates for local office on the November 2022 ballot to file campaign finance disclosures. The reports cover activity between April 1 and June 9.
The deadline is 11:59 p.m. tonight. By 6 p.m. today, VPAP will post disclosures filed by the close of business with the Virginia Department of Elections.
VPAP has a new interface that allows you to sort local candidates by amount raised and cash on hand. You can also drill down to an individual candidate’s report to see top-level numbers (raised, spent, cash on hand) and lists of itemized contributions and expenses.
By 7 a.m. tomorrow, VPAP will update the numbers on its site to include all reports that came by the deadline.
Meanwhile, the VPAP team will add value to the thousands of transactions contained in the reports. This includes assigning a unique ID to each donor, tagging donors by occupation, and assigning a purpose code to each expenditure. Look for these value-added reports to be fully integrated into vpap.org later this week.
