Campaign Finance - Contributions
This dataset lists all contributions and pledges received by candidates, officeholders and political committees on data files submitted per City Code Chapter 2-2-26.
For a complete listing of each column heading, please see the field listing here: http://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=262464
Note: Texas Election Code § 254.0401 requires the City Clerk to publish campaign finance reports online and was amended in 2023 to allow the Clerk to remove the street address of the contributors listed in the report, as long as the city, state, and ZIP code remain visible in the report, and the entire address is available on the original report maintained by the City Clerk in her office. Due to this change in the law, the City Clerk redacts the street addresses from the online datasets containing the information in campaign finance forms filed with the City Clerk’s office. Original, unredacted reports are maintained at the City Clerk’s office and are available upon request.
