Campaign Disclosure Filings
 
Political Reform Act Campaign Disclosure Requirements and Filings
For the past 25 years, California has had in place a campaign finance disclosure law requiring candidates and committees to make public their contributions and expenditures. All local elected officeholders, candidates for local elected offices, and committees in support or opposed to local candidates are required to file with the City Clerk campaign disclosure reports at specified intervals. These reports disclose who gave money and how much, and who received money and how much, and are available online approximately one week after the stated due dates for the various filing periods (see below). Hard copies are available for review in the City Clerk's Office 24-hours after the stated due dates.

Detailed itemization is required for contributions received from a single source totaling $100 or more; expenditures of $100 or more; accrued expenses of $100 or more; and miscellaneous increases to cash of $100 or more.
