Candidate Financial Statements

All candidates and registered third party advertisers must file their financial statement and auditor’s reports (if required) on or before March 31, 2023, at 2 p.m.

Making Financial Statements available on our website allows members of the public to view scanned copies of filed statements in PDF format. Because financial statements are prepared in hard copy by candidates and third party advertisers and cannot be modified by staff, the scanned documents attached below may not be fully accessible for use with assistive technology.

If you have reasonable grounds to believe that a candidate or third party advertiser has violated the campaign finance rules, please request a compliance audit.
