What did candidates report?
Explore 7,590 reconciled selected-report rows and 59 separate amount-verified independent-spending records. Compare two exact FEC candidate summaries. Five blocked state accounts remain visible with unavailable amounts, not zeros.
When and how do I vote?
Review no-registration eligibility, voter identification, absentee, early-voting, local polling-hour, ballot-measure, and set-aside ballot rules.
How to read the money: The state money explorer is a verified subset with different report cutoff dates, not complete statewide finances. The candidate comparison cards below are a separate identity-matching task; a shared name never supplies a committee match. Federal cards retain their stated FEC coverage.
