Older State Campaign Finance Data
From July 2002 to July 2008, many committees filed campaign finance reports in electronic spreadsheets. To view those electronic filings, click here. If the information you are seeking is not there, the committee most likely filed on paper. Depending on their age, those reports are located either at the Board offices in Madison, or the State Historical Society.
Local Campaign Finance Information
Campaign finance reports, filed by candidates for local offices, as well as reports pertaining to referenda, are filed with the appropriate county, municipal or school district clerk. For directories of clerks, click here.
