Minnesota E-Democracy is proud to present this searchable database of Federal Election Commission data.
From here, you can search for information about candidates, campaigns, committees, contributors or contributions, or various subcategories of any of these.
Information about the Data
FEC data comes from the Federal Election
Commision internet site. Data currently available is from January 1,
1995 through September 1996 (the latest data available from the FEC).
This database contains information on constributions fitting any of the following criteria:
- All contributions over $200 to Minnesota candidates for:
- U.S. House
- U.S. Senate
- (money could have come from anywhere)
- All contributions over $200 from anyone or any campaign with a Minnesota address to any candidate in any state for:
- President
- U.S. House
- U.S. Senate
- All $200+ contributions to and from Minnesota Political Action Committees
- Please note that transfers between committees are supposed to be reported by both committees, and so may appear to be duplicated.
- This database includes only contributions of $200 and up
- This may cause occasional discrepancies between results from this database and search results from the full FEC database.
