Under Minnesota State Statue 211A.02, candidates, committees and corporations that receive and/or spend more than $750 in a calendar year must file a Campaign Financial Report. Reports are due within 14 days of reaching the $750 threshold; 10 days before a primary or special election; 10 days before a general or special election; 30 days after a general or special election and by January 31 of each year following the year when an initial report was filed. If a person does not receive or spend $750 or more, no report is required except the certificate of filing.

Information on campaign finance reports is public information and will be posted as it is received at City Hall.
