New York State Board of Elections State Election Campaign Financial Disclosure Statements

15004-00: Arranged by type of candidate record.

The State Board of Elections receives, reviews, and audits campaign finance statements and makes them available to the public as part of its responsibility to administer the election process and enforce the Election Law and its regulations. Candidates for all statewide offices and their committees are required to file financial statements, and the Board may assess and collect fines for violation of filing provisions.

The series contains campaign finance records filed by candidates for statewide elective office and the organizations supporting them (including political action committees). Records include financial disclosure statements for both campaign organizations and candidates, and campaign receipts that are required to be filed with the State Board of Elections.

Records are arranged according to the following codes (corresponding to the type of candidate record): PACs (political action committees), filed alphabetically by name of committee; STW (statewide), filed alphabetically by name of organization; SEN (Senate), filed by district number (1-61) and therein alphabetically by candidate name; AD (Assembly District), filed by district number (1-150) and therein by candidate name; GOV, LT. GOV, COMPT, ATT GEN (governor, lieutenant governor, comptroller, attorney general), filed alphabetically by name of candidate; PARTY (party or constituted committee), filed by name of Republican or Democratic state committee, citizen group, or other campaign committee; and JD (judicial district), filed by district number (1-12) and therein alphabetically by name of candidate.
