Check out the 1997 Election Report, a compendium of graphs and charts detailing the finances of this year's candidates and ballot issues. This is a web version of the report we've done in paper in December of 1993, 1995 and 1997.
Most reports of activity that were received by the City Clerk prior to July 24, 1998 should be available here. All 1997 campaigns were required to have filed final reports of activity through April 30, 1998 no later than May 11, 1998.
Introduction to Campaign Finance Disclosure
A brief introduction to the forms and procedures campaigns use to disclose
their contributions and expenditures in Seattle; what is required to be
reported, when must campaigns report, etc...
Campaigns and their Disclosure Filings
A list of all campaigns currently registered for this election cycle.
If you need phone numbers or addresses for the campaigns
this would be a good place to look.
Also, this is your gateway to review every disclosure form that
each campaign has filed with the City Clerk.
Summary Reports and Search Utilities
Reports generated by SEEC staff summarizing the finances
of each of the campaigns registered this cycle. Here you will find (eventually!) a
report of contributions to each campaign by neighborhood,
the average sizes of contributions, types of contributors,
how much money each campaign has raised and how campaigns have spent this money.
If you want to view lists or databases of contributions or expenditures this
would be the place to look (eventually).
Also, if you would like the PAN server to search through all of the filings
for names or other text this is the place for you.
