Reports were due at the County Clerk's office or postmarked by July 20th. The County Clerk has alerted the district attorney to the candidates who have not filed by now.
Not all figures have been audited by the County Clerk's office, so there may be small adjustments as the reports are checked more carefully.
* "Spent" only includes how much each candidate spent on his or her own race. Race candidates last spring engaged in a system of funneling money from unchallenged candidates to those in tight races. Such transfers are not included in the total for the candidate who made the transfer to the other candidate. (For example Lyman Anderson, who was unopposed funnelled $4,300 to the campaigns of other conservative candidates, while spending $1,764.50 on his own race, only the $1,764.50 is noted here.) Stay tuned for a special report updating the Legal Laundering many candidates practiced this Spring.
** Rutkowski had not, as of August 31, filed her final report. Figures are through March 20, roughly two weeks before the end of the campaign.
