As the City of Portland, Maine is no longer posting campaign finance disclosure
reports for candidates for city office -- and has systematically destroyed those
filed before 2005 -- I am posting them here for public use as time and
resources permit.
Note that many candidates file several reports during each election cycle, and
to have a full picture of their relationship with donors (and, perhaps, special
interests,) one must read them all.
If you are interested in disclosures for Maine state and county offices, please
visit this site.
If you have copies of Portland campaign finance disclosures dated prior to
2005 and would like to contribute them to this collection, please contact Colin
Woodard.
Also note that while we ultimately seek to obtain complete reports, this
collection is a voluntary effort and may suffer from missing pages or even entire
reports. Some pages are in poor focus. Many posted reports feature only the
key pages -- usually Schedule A (campaign contributions) -- in an effort to
reduce cost.
