Election 2008 Public Campaign Financing Recap

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Thu, Jan 31 at 7:36 PM

The deadline for candidates to turn in their contribution forms and apply for certification as a publicly financed candidate was today. Every candidate who made a serious go of collecting the $5 contributions turned in what looks like enough to qualify (and Amanda Fritz already qualified).

The auditor’s office put out this handy update">this handy update tonight, with numbers on how many forms each candidate has submitted, how many have already been verified, and how many have been tossed out. Click on it for a bigger version.

Any candidate who’s not listed on that chart either wasn’t participating, or didn’t turn any forms in to the city.

What does "new forms needed" mean?

It means there was an error on the form submitted, but not the type of mistake that required the donation to be returned. The candidate can get a new form from the same donor, correctly completed, and the donation will still count even though the deadline has passed.
